This article covers maintenance and cleaning of the BPWKN 177 by Boretti.
Note If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the wine cabinet will not start. When you use the wine cabinet for the first time or restart the wine cabinet after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cabinet is running for a few hours everything will be back to normal. Temperature memory function If the power is suddenly lost, the set temperature will be saved by the unit. Once the power is back on, the unit will be at the same set temperature. "Close door” reminder function When you forget to close the door or the door is not fully closed, there will be warning alarm after 5 minutes. How to remove the shelf
- Open the door completely.
- Remove all of the contents loaded on the shelf, if applicable.
- Pull the shelf towards yourself until it is fully extended outward.
- The shelf has plastic posts on both sides as indicated in the diagram below. While facing the unit, press the plastic post on the right side down while pulling up on the left plastic post. You may choose to do this by hand or by using a flathead screwdriver.
- Evenly pull out the shelf from the track until it is completely removed from the inner compartment. Cleaning the wine cabinet
- Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and rack.
- Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The proportion should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
- Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
- Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
- Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft 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 your contents. Vacation time
- Short vacations: Leave the wine cabinet operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
- Long vacations: 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 odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary. Moving the wine cabinet
