IMPORTANT: Unplug the beverage center/
wine chiller before cleaning.
Keep the outside clean. The cabinet can be
washed with mild soap and water. Clean with
a damp cloth. 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.
Do not wipe the beverage center/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.
Protect the paint finish. The finish on the
outside of the beverage center/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 Inside
Automatic Defrosting
The model uses the compressor on/off cycling
to defrost automatically (compressor stop,
temperature rises).
Never use a heater
of any kind, scraper or sharp instrument
to remove frost as it may damage the
beverage center/wine chiller.
NOTE: The drain pan above the compressor
may be full following defrost. Check to make
sure no water spills when moving the unit.
