CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Wine Cooler
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance and remove all items, including shelves and rack. Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about two tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution. Please note that, as can happen with other forms of storage, slight mould may form de- pending on the type of adhesive on the label of the bottles. This can be rectified by care- fully cleaning any adhesive residues off the bottles. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area of controls or any electrical parts. Wash the outside cabinet with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. 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 the contents. Vacation time Short vacations: leave the Wine Cooler operating during vacations of less than 3 weeks. Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several month, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
