■ Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays,

scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,

concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing

petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or

gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other

harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.

■ To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a

mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt

[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

4. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not

use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing chlorine.

These can scratch or damage materials. Dry thoroughly with a

soft cloth.

NOTE: To keep your stainless steel wine cellar looking like new and to

remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the

manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish. To order

the cleaner, see “Accessories.”

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!

Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into

contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser

covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean

plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry

thoroughly with a soft cloth.

5. Replace the racks.

6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located behind the

base grille. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as every other

month. This may help save energy.

■ Remove the base grille. See “Base Grille.”

■ Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean

the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.

■ Replace the base grille.

7. Plug in wine cellar or reconnect power.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations

If you choose to turn the wine cellar off before you leave, follow these

steps.

1. Remove all wine bottles from the wine cellar.

2. Unplug the wine cellar.

3. Clean the wine cellar. See “Cleaning.”

4. Tape a rubber or wood block to the top of the door to prop it open

far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building

up.

Moving

When you are moving your wine cellar to a new home, follow these

steps to prepare it for the move.

1. Remove all wine bottles from the wine cellar.

2. Unplug the wine cellar.

3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.

4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them

together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.

5. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the wine cellar.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the

“Installation Instructions” section for preparation instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Your wine cellar will not operate

■ Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3

prong outlet.

■ Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.

■ Is the Wine Cellar Control in Cool Off Mode? See “Using the

Controls.”

The motor seems to run too much

■ Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the

motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal

temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the

time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more of the

time.

■ Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer when

this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you

need out of the wine cellar at once. Keep wine bottles positioned

label side up so that they are easy to find, and close the door as

soon as the wine is removed.

■ Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

See “Using the Controls.”

■ Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If it

will not shut all the way, see “The door will not close completely”

later in this section.

■ Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air transfer and

makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See

“Cleaning.”

Temperature is too warm

■ Is the door opened often? Be aware that the wine cellar will

warm when this occurs. In order to keep the wine cellar cool, try

to get everything you need out of the wine cellar at once. Keep

wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to find,

and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.

■ Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

See “Using the Control.”

■ Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not install

the wine cellar behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.
