RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LAYOUT AND STORAGE OF YOUR WINE CABINET
Your cabinet was designed to store a maximum number of bottles in total security. We recommend that you
observe the tips below to optimize loading.
-Spread your bottles out as evenly as possible over the shelves, so that weight is not concentrated in one area. Also
make sure your bottles do not touch the back of the cabinet, or the step at bottom.
-Also make sure that bottles are not all grouped together at the top or bottom of the cabinet.
-Observe the loading instructions provided in this section and never stack bottles on a sliding shelf.
-Never try to pull out more than one sliding shelf at a time.
PLEASE NOTE
Before modifying your cabinet’s original configuration in any way, be sure to ask your dealer for advice.
5. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Your Wine Cooler
 Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and rack.
 Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda with 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.
 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 vocations: Leave the Wine Cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
 Long vocations: 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 door and mold growth, leave the door open slightly:
blocking it open if necessary.
 Moving Your 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.

out of the direct sunlight.
