CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean.

The condenser tubing inside the cabinet does not require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends on
adequate ventilation over the coils. Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow openings in front of the
cabinet. Spiders and insects can nest in and around the wine cellar causing damage to the unit. Frequently brush or
vacuum lint and dirt from the condenser coils for efficient performance by unscrewing the grill on the bottom front of
cabinet.

The cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. Never use abrasive
