Maintenance and Cleaning
Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air fl ow openings in the front of the cabinet.
For best performance, brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the condenser once a year.
Remove the cover from the bottom rear of the wine store to access the condenser. Condenser Condenser
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted
automatically. Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the compressor operation; later on, when the
compressor is not operating ice is defrosting and water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back
wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates.
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can damage the surface.
Cabinet
The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water.
Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Never use abrasive scouring powders.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners).
You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol). The application of abrasive and specially aggressive
cleaners, such as the stainless steel cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and coated parts.
After cleaning connect the appliances to the mains supply, turn it on and replace the beverages again.
Interior
Wash the inside with mild soap and water or baking soda and water. Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent,
polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.
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 paraffi n wax or petroleum jelly to the door gasket at the hinge
side. This helps keep the gasket from sticking and bending out of shape.
Unplug the appliance 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.
If the power fails, open the door as infrequently as possible to maintain the temperature. A gradual rise in
temperature should not have any adverse effect on the beverages.
If it is extremely hot, you may want to move the beverages to the coolest location you can fi nd until power is
restored.
Do not store or use gasoline or other fl ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
