•  Turn temperature controls to minimum, unplug the appliance, and 

remove all items including the shelves. 

•  Wash the inside surfaces with 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 mild detergent solution. 

•  Wipe the outside cabinet with furniture polish and clean soft cloth. 

•  The drip tray catches any condensation created by the unit and must be 

checked and cleaned frequently. 

 

•  Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect 

the temperature of your appliance. Minimize the number of times the 
door is opened to maintain the internal temperature of the cooler and 
your wine.  

•  If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to 

take the proper steps in order to protect your contents. 

     

•  Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less 

than three weeks. 

•  Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for at least several 

months, remove all items and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the 
interior thoroughly. To prevent door and mold growth, leave the doors 
open slightly; propping them open if necessary.
