• If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful
deposits. A humidity of 60%~70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.
• After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it is best
to store the remainder of the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of the wine that
is coming into contact with the air.
• Once opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two days for delicate whites
or three days for rich reds, as long as the bottle as been resealed. You should make sure
that the seal is firm by checking the stopper.
• Special stoppers that keep wine sparkling and Champagne bubbling for one or two days
after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops.
• When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied reds will
age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty years.
• When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location imme-
diately (if you are not going to store it in your wine cooler).
• Cheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive ones.
• To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never fill more than half a glass
at a time. It will also help if the shape of your wine glass is appropriate for your wine. The
size and shape of your wine glass's bowl will determine the intensity and complexity of
the bouquet. The stem should be long enough to allow you to avoid hand contact with the
bowl of the glass and should be tulip-shaped or tapered at the top.
• Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly.
• Turn off the wine cooler first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
• Remove all contents.
• Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in lukewarm water and baking soda solu-
tion.
• The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
• The outside of the wine cooler should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
• Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
• Dust or anything else blocking the vent may hinder the cooling efficiency of the appli-
ance. Vacuum the vent if necessary.
• Turn off the wine cooler first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it is not
going to be used for a long period of time.
• Remove all the contents.
• Clean the appliance.
• Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
• Short vacations: Leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the wine cooler will not be used for several months, remove all content
and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold
growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
• Moving Your Appliance: Turn off the wine cooler first and then unplug the unit from the
wall outlet.
• Remove all the contents.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your appliance.
• Tape the doors shut.
• Energy Saving Tips:
• The wine cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Ensure that door is properly closed when the wine cooler is turned on.
