CARE AND MAINTENANCE 
 
CLEANING YOUR WINE COOLER 
 
IMPORTANT: Always unplug the unit before cleaning or performing maintenance. Never use harsh 
cleansers or scouring pads to clean any part of the unit. 
•  Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves. 
•  Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. 
•  Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution. 
•  Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning control panels 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 the power is off for an extended period of time, proper steps should be taken to protect your contents.  
 
INACTIVITY 
 
If the unit will not be used for a period of less than three weeks, leave the cooler operating. If the period of 
inactivity is several months, remove all items and turn the unit off. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. 
Leave the door open slightly to prevent any possible moisture build-up.  
 
MOVING YOUR WINE COOLER 
 
Before moving your wine cooler, first be sure to remove all items from the cooler. 
•  Securely tape down any loose items, such as shelves, inside the unit. 
•  Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.  
•  Tape the door shut. 
•  Ensure that the unit stays securely in the upright position during transportation. Protect the outside of 
the appliance with a blanket or similar item.  
 
ENERGY SAVING TIPS 
 
•  The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room away from heat sources or direct sunlight.  
•  Ensure that the unit has proper allowances on all sides for proper ventilation. Never cover any air 
vents.  
•  Only open the cooler door for as long as necessary. Frequent opening of the door will affect internal 
temperature.
