IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine center before
cleaning.
Keep the outside clean. The cabinet can be
washed with mild soap and water. Clean with
a damp cloth. Never use abrasive scouring
powders.
To clean the glass door, first apply the glass
cleaner or mild soap to a clean cloth, then
wipe the soiled area. Dry thoroughly. Do
not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of

to the stainless steel door frame. Do not use

can damage it.
Do not wipe the wine center with a soiled
dishcloth or wet towel. These may leave a
residue that can erode the finish. Do not use
scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or
cleaners containing bleach because these
products can scratch and weaken the finish.
Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub
in the direction of the brush lines.
The stainless steel door frame and door
handle can be cleaned with a commercially
available stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners
with oxalic acid (e.g. Bar Keepers Friend Soft
Cleanser) will remove rust, lime, and other
tarnish. Do not use appliance wax or polish
on the stainless steel.
Protect the paint finish. The finish on the
outside of the wine center cabinet is a high-
quality, baked-on paint finish. With proper
care, it will stay new-looking and rust-free
for years. Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance
wax when the wine center is new, and then at
least twice a year.

one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a
quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Clean with a damp cloth.
The vinyl door gasket may be cleaned with
mild soap and water or a baking soda
solution.
Do not use detergents, scouring powders,
spray cleaners or other harsh chemicals to
clean the interior.
Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth. Dry
thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large
amounts of soap and water, abrasives or

it. Some paper towels can also scratch the
control panel.
Cleaning the Inside
Automatic Defrosting
The model uses the compressor on/off cycling
to defrost automatically (compressor stops,
temperature rises).
Never use a heater of any kind, scraper or
sharp instrument to remove frost as it may
damage the wine center.
NOTE: The drain pan above the compressor
may be full following defrost. Check to make
sure no water spills when moving the unit.
