Care and Cleaning
Defrosting
The compartment of your appliance defrosts automatically.
Water may form on the rear wall as part of the defrost process.
It drains into a reservoir at the back of the appliance and is
heated so that it evaporates.
Removing Shelves
1. Pull the shelf out until the notches are directly under the
plastic rack stops on both sides.
2. Lift the shelf straight up. The notches in the shelf allow it to
slide up, between the rack stops.
3. Once the shelf has cleared the rack stops, pull it out of the
compartment.
4. Push both slides back into the unit for safety, then close
the door.
To reinstall the shelves:
1. Pull the shelf slides out until they stop.
2. Insert the shelf into the unit above the slides. Line the
bottom of both notches up with the top of the rack stops.
3. Gently lower the rack down, allowing the rack stops to slide
between the notches.
4. With the shelf laying on top of the slides, slowly push in
on each slide until the holes on the bottom of the rack slip
over the pins on the top of each slide.
5. Once the rack is seated onto both slides, push the rack into
place inside the compartment.
Cleaning the Surfaces
• To remove finger prints on glass surfaces, use a mild glass
cleaner with a soft damp rag.
• Wipe all outside surfaces with a soft dry rag.
• Wipe all inside surfaces, including the control panel, with a
soft damp rag. Soak the rag with a mild detergent solution
and wring out before use. Remove the shelves when cleaning
inside walls.
When Not In Use
• Removal all bottles.
• Unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet.
• Remove the contents from the wine racks.
• Leave the door open for a few days to clear moisture,
blocking it open if necessary.
When Moving
• Unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet.
• Remove the contents from the wine racks and all moving
parts from inside.
• Raise the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut and lock it.
• Transport the wine cellar only in the upright position. Also
protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar
item.

for extremely long life. They are not user serviceable. If they
are not working, call your dealer or Dacor Customer Service for

from your dealer or from www.everthingdacor.com.
1. Remove the shelf in front of the filter.
2. Grip the filter and turn it 90°clockwise or counterclockwise
