Standard Cleaning Process

1. Close off the nitrogen pinch clamps.

3. Pull the handle on each faucet (with a glass below) to drain wine from each faucet and tube.

Remove the wine bottles. Do not place these used bottles back on the unit after you have
completed the cleaning process, these wines should be hand poured.

4. Mix the Wine Line Cleaner (WLC) solution with water as per the instructions printed on the

container (additional cleaning supplies are available from WineKeeper).

5. Pour this mixture into clean empty wine bottles (3 - 4 ounces is sufficient).

6. Replace and seal the stopper assemblies in each bottle then open the pinch clamps.

7. Pour off a small amount of the liquid. Allow solution to remain in the wine tubes for 10 minutes.

Dispense the remaining solution through the system.

inside the thru-wall and upper portion
