Care and cleaning.
IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine chiller before
cleaning.
Keep the outside clean.
The cabinet can
be washed with mild soap and water.
Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
Never use abrasive scouring powders.
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water
and a soft cloth to clean the glass door.
Do not use any abrasive powders.
Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth.
Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning
sprays, large amounts of soap and water,
abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—
they can damage it. Some paper towels
can also scratch the control panel.
Do not wipe the wine chiller with a soiled
dishcloth or towel. These may leave a residue that
can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads,
powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing
bleach because these products can scratch and
weaken the paint finish.
Stainless steel.
Regularly clean and polish
the stainless steel areas (on some models)
with a commercially available stainless
steel cleaner such as
Gleem-it
®
to preserve
and protect the fine finish.
Gleem-it
®
is
available at leading hardware stores. It is
also available through our website, www.
GEAppliances.ca, or call 1.888.261.3055.
Order part number WX10X15.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Protect the paint finish.
The finish on
the outside of the wine chiller is a
high-quality, baked-on paint finish.
With proper care, it will stay new-looking
and rust-free for years. Apply a coat of
kitchen/appliance wax when the wine
chiller is new, and then at least twice
a year.
Cleaning the Outside
IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine chiller before
cleaning.
To clean the inner liner and racks, use
a warm water and baking soda solution—
about one tablespoon (15 mL) of baking
soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This
both cleans and neutralizes odors.
Rinse and wipe dry.
The vinyl door gasket may be cleaned with
mild soap and water or a baking
soda solution. Rinse well.
Do not use detergents, scouring powders,
spray cleaners or other harsh chemicals to
clean the interior.
Cleaning the Inside
Defrost whenever frost on the inside surfaces
of the storage area becomes 1/8" (3 mm) thick.
Never use a heater of any kind, scraper or
sharp instrument to remove frost as it may
damage the wine chiller.
To defrost,
unplug the wine chiller.
Remove the contents and wipe inside
surfaces and racks with a clean towel.
If frost does not come off easily,
allow the frost to melt somewhat
and wipe off.
After defrosting,
make sure inside surfaces
are dry; then return the contents to the
wine chiller and set the temperature
control to the desired setting.
