CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE WINE COOLER
● Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves.
● Wipe the inside surfaces with a sponge and baking soda solution. The solution should be about
2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 litre of warm water.
● Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution. Allow wooden shelves to dry before placing
back into the wine cooler.
● Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any
electrical parts.
● Wipe the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Dry with a clean soft cloth.
● Do not use steel wool or steel brush on the stainless steel. These will contaminate the stainless
steel with steel particles and rusting may occur.
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 of door opening. 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.
MOVING THE 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
outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
● The appliance should be located away from heat producing appliances, and away from direct
sunlight.
● Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents
at front.
● Only open the door when necessary. Avoid leaving the door open for long periods or opening/
closing the door frequently.
● For beer units, when you are away, set at 8-10oC, this means much less energy consumption
and still will keep beverages from spoiling
● Keep unit at least ¾ full, this will ensure less run times, as less air to chill
● Every 12months or so check your rear wire condenser (behind panel) for dust and particle
build up, this can cause over running and overheating if blocked.
