MLWC82 - Maintenance and cleaning

This article covers maintenance and cleaning of the MLWC82 by Boretti.

• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and rack.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and natural mild soap solution.
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls. Do not clean electrical parts, like the fans.

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 contents.

Holidays

Short Holidays: Leave the wine cabinet operating during holidays of less than three weeks. Long Holidays: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour and mould growth, leave the door open slightly (blocking it open if necessary).

Moving your wine cooler

• Remove all items.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.

Defrosting/condensation

Your wine cabinet is designed with an “Auto-cycle” defrost system. When the RUN cycle is OFF, the refrigerated surface of the wine cabinet (interior rear wall) defrosts automatically. The defrosted water is channeled into a drain pan which is located at the back of the cabinet next to the compressor from where it evaporates.
