CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Your wine cellar is easy to operate and has proven its reliability. It will provide long-lasting satisfaction if
you follow the simple maintenance and cleaning operations listed below.
 Replace the activated charcoal filter in the cabinet's upper ventilation hole every six months. These
filters are available from SUMMIT through our website, www.summitappliance.com/support , or by
calling Customer Service at 1-800-932-4267.
 Remove dust from the condenser (metal screen on the back of the cabinet) twice a year.
 Make sure the power cord is unplugged before cleaning the back of your cabinet, or before moving it.
 Clean the inside of the cabinet thoroughly once a year, after unplugging and unloading it. Use water
and a mild detergent, then rinse carefully and dry.
 Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth.
 Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel door frame or handle.
CAUTION:
Failure to unplug the appliance during cleaning could result in electrical shock or other 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 the contents.
VACATION TIME
 Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
 Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the
appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door
open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Remove all items.
2. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also, protect the
outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
 The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances
and out of direct sunlight.
 Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
 Do not keep the door open any longer than necessary.
