Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life.
Cleaning the Air Filter
Your wine cooler has two exhaust fans that are protected from lint, dust, and dirt by air filters. To
clean the air filters, follow the steps below:
1. Power off the unit and remove the air filter located on the back of the unit.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to remove loose dust and dirt, then rinse
thoroughly under lukewarm running water (below 104° F). You may use a mild soap and
water solution if needed. Allow the air filter to air dry in a cool and shaded place. Dry
thoroughly before reinstalling.
Clean the air filter periodically. If the unit is used in a dusty environment you may need to clean it
on a weekly basis.
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. Because the door panel is stainless steel,
it 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.
Interior Cleaning
The wine cooler’s interior should be cleaned occasionally.
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Open the doors 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 wines.
6. Reconnect power to the unit.
Water Pan and Condensation
Occasionally, the water pan may collect water in high humidity environments. If the pan appears
to be getting full, do the following:
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Use a soft absorbent towel to wipe away the water pan’s water.
3. Reconnect power to the unit.
