Care and Maintenance
Loading your wine cellar:
• If you do not have enough bottles to completely fill your wine cellar, distribute the bottles evenly throughout
the cabinet and not all on the top or all on the bottom.
• Do not remove shelves in order to stack bottles higher than the recommended single or double rows.
• Allow room between the cabinet walls and your bottles in order to allow for sufficient air circulation and
prevent mold and uneven temperatures.
• Do not overload your wine cellar.
• Avoid obstructing the internal fans, located inside on the back panel of the wine cellar.
• Do not slide loaded shelves out beyond their fixed position in order to prevent your bottles from falling.
• Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine cellar to tip forward.
• Do not cover the wooden shelves with alloy foil or other materials, as this will obstruct air circulation.
Cleaning your wine cellar:
• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items.
• 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 a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
• Dust the front grill and back of the unit twice yearly. Make sure the power is off before cleaning.
• It is recommended to clean the unit completely inside and out yearly to maximize the longevity of the product.
Moving your wine cellar:
• Remove all bottles and any other items you may have inside the unit. Moving your wine cellar while it is loaded
with wine can distort the body of the wine cellar and cause back injury.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance and tape the door shut.
• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
• Protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
