Preparing the Wine and Beverage Refrigerator for Storage
If the wine and beverage refrigerator will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to
another place, it will be necessary to defrost the unit and dry the interior.
1. Disconnect the wine and beverage refrigerator from the power supply by removing the
power plug from the wall socket.
2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew, and
unpleasant smells.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life.
Exterior Cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and lukewarm water solution such
as 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water.
Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water.
Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting. If the door panels are stainless steel,
they can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a
cloth dampened with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Never use an abrasive or
caustic cleaning agent.

1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Open the door and remove the contents and shelves.
3. Wait until the unit defrosts.
4. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior of the unit.
5. Reinsert the shelves and beverages.
