KitchenAid 24" Panel Ready Wine Cellar with Glass Door and Wood-Front Racks Utilizzo E Cura

■

To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a 
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt 
[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

4. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean 

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do 
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing 
chlorine. These can scratch or damage materials. Dry 
thoroughly with a soft cloth. 

NOTE: To keep your stainless steel wine cellar looking like 
new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that 
you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner 
and Polish. To order the cleaner, see “Accessories”.

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only! 

Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come 
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, 
dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact 
does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild 
detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

5. Replace the racks. 

6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located behind 

the base grille. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as 
every other month. This may help save energy.

■

Remove the base grille. See “Base Grille.”

■

Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to 
clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty. 

■

Replace the base grille.

7. Plug in wine cellar or reconnect power.

Vacation and Moving Care

If you choose to turn the wine cellar off before you leave, follow 
these steps.

1. Remove all wine bottles from the wine cellar.

2. Unplug the wine cellar. 

3. Clean the wine cellar. See “Cleaning.”

4. Tape a rubber or wood block to the top of the door to prop it 

open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold 
from building up.

When you are moving your wine cellar to a new home, follow 
these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. Remove all wine bottles from the wine cellar.

2. Unplug the wine cellar.

3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.

4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them 

together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.

5. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the wine 

cellar.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to 
the “Installation Instructions” section for preparation instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING

■

Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 
3 prong outlet.

■

Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker 
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.

■

Is the Wine Cellar Control in Cool Off Mode? See “Using 
the Controls”.

■

Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the 
motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal 
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of 
the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even 
more.

■

Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer 
when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get 
everything you need out of the wine cellar at once. Keep wine 
bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to find, 
and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.

■

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Controls”.

■

Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If 
it will not shut all the way, see “The door will not close 
completely” later in this section.

■

Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air transfer 
and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. 
See “Cleaning”.

■

Is the door opened often? Be aware that the wine cellar will 
warm when this occurs. In order to keep the wine cellar cool, 
try to get everything you need out of the wine cellar at once. 
Keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are 
easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is 
removed.

■

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Control”.

■

Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not 
install the wine cellar behind a cabinet door or block the base 
grille.
