Dacor Wine Steward/Beverage Cooler - Manual (Page 5)

3
The full extension drawer fronts on the beverage
cooler are unfinished maple wood. During use,
oil from hands may accumulate and stain the
wood.
• The drawer fronts may be stained and
sealed to match adjacent cabinetry. The
tinted glass will make the stained wood
appear darker. A true color match can be
seen only when the door is opened.
• Apply the stain and sealer according to
the manufacturer’s instructions. To avoid
unpleasant odor, keep the door open to
ventilate and allow the stain/sealer to dry
completely before using the product.
NOTE:
Natural wood may vary slightly in grain and
color.
WARNING:
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on
the beverage cooler shelves or full extension
drawers. They could seriously injure themselves
and possibly cause damage to the beverage
cooler.
NOTE:
This unit is for storing beverages only and not
intended for the storage of perishable foods.
The bottom two full extension drawers hold six
bottles each and are loaded with necks facing
the rear. Tall bottles should not be loaded on the
bottom drawer because they may prevent the
door from closing.
The top five full extension drawers (EWC model
only) each hold eight bottles, two deep with the
necks alternating front to back or nine bottles,
alternating with necks pointing inward.
• The bottles on the top full extension
drawer, directly under the light, will be
exposed to a slightly higher temperature
when the light is on. Position your wines
accordingly and remember to turn off the
light when it is no longer needed.
• Keep wines that you plan to use for
everyday drinking and entertaining
on the front half of the full extension
drawers where labels are completely
visible. Place wines for aging or longer
term storage in the rear.
WARNING:
Unplug the appliance before cleaning.

Loading Tips and Suggestions
Care and Cleaning
Cabinet
The exterior surfaces can be washed with mild
soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear
water. Never use abrasive scouring powders.
Glass Door
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and
a soft cloth to clean the glass door. Do not use
any abrasive powders.
Door Gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap
and water, a baking soda solution or a mild
scouring powder. Rinse well.
After cleaning the door gasket, apply a thin layer
of paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door
gasket at the hinge side. This helps keep the
gasket from sticking and bending out of shape.
Cleaning the Inside
Turn the appliance OFF or unplug the unit
before cleaning. Use a slightly damp cloth or
sponge when cleaning around switches, lights
or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe
dry.
Other parts of the appliance—including the
door gaskets, full extension drawers and glass
shelves—can be cleaned the same way.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves
carefully. Rough handling of tempered glass can
cause it to shatter.
Drain Hole
Periodically check the drain hole and channel for
any debris. If the drain is blocked, condensation
will not drain properly.
To check and clean the drain hole, remove
the bottom two glass shelves. Sweep a damp
cloth along the channel in the back of the
beverage cooler. Use a finger to sweep away
any debris from the drain hole.

Light Bulb Replacement
Unplug the beverage cooler before replacing the
light bulb.
To remove the light shield, push in the tab on
the left side of the shield and lower it. Replace
with a 15 watt appliance bulb.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If the power fails, open the door as infrequently
as possible to maintain the temperature.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
