CARE & MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE BASICS
Your fridge is easy to operate and has
proven its reliability; it will provide
long-lasting satisfaction if you
follow the simple maintenance and
cleaning operations listed below:
• Remove dust from the condenser
(metal screen on the back of
the fridge) twice a year.
• Make sure the power cord is
unplugged before cleaning the back
of your fridge, or before moving it.
• Clean the inside of your fridge thoroughly
once a year, after unplugging and
unloading it (uses water and a mild
cleaning item, then rinse carefully).
CLEANING THE WINE FRIDGE
• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance,
and remove all items including shelves.
• Wipe the inside surfaces with a sponge
and baking soda solution. The solution
should be about 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to 1 litre of warm water.
• Wash the shelves with a mild
detergent solution. Allow the wooden
shelves to dry before placing them
back into the wine fridge.
• Remove excess water from the sponge
or cloth when cleaning the controls, or
any other electrical display areas.
• Wipe the outside fridge with warm
water and a mild liquid detergent.
Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
• Do not use steel wool or steel brush
on the stainless steel. These will
contaminate the stainless steel with
steel particles and rusting may occur.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within
a few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your appliance if you
minimize the number of times the door is
opened. If the power is going to be off for
a longer period of time, you need to take
the proper steps to protect your wine.
MOVING THE WINE FRIDGE
• Remove all items.
• Securely tape down all loose items
(shelves) inside your appliance.
• Turn the adjustable legs up to
the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Ensure the appliance stays secure in the
upright position during transportation.
Also protect the outside of appliance
with a blanket, or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The appliance should be located away
from heat producing appliances,
and away from direct sunlight.
• Ensure that the unit is adequately
ventilated. Never cover the air vents.
• Only open the door when necessary.
Avoid leaving the door open for long periods
or opening/closing the door frequently.
To assure that your wine
fridge provides long-lasting
reliable performance, you should
check it regularly and inform your
dealer if anything unusual is found.
