CARE AND MAINTENANCE
 Cleaning Your Wine Chiller
 UNPLUG the Wine Chiller, and remove all items including shelves.
 Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution 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.
CAUTION
Failure to unplug the Wine Chiller could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
 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 Chiller operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
 Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth,
leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
 Moving Your Wine Chiller
 Remove all bottles.
 Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
 Tape the door shut.
 Protect outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
 Energy Saving Tips
 The Wine Chiller should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
 One characteristic of thermoelectric units is the length of time it requires to recover from
having the door opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wait longer for the
temperature to return to its former level once the door has been opened for too long. This is
normal for the type of unit.
 Thermoelectric technology costs just pennies to operate. It is environmentally friendly due to
the lack of CFC’s.
