Care and Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Unplug the beverage
center/wine chiller 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.
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water
and a soft cloth to clean the glass door.
Do not use any abrasive powders.
Do not wipe the beverage center/wine
chiller with a soiled dishcloth or towel.
These may leave a residue that can
erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads,
powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach because these products
can scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Protect the paint finish. The finish
on the outside of the beverage center/
wine chiller 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 chiller is new, and then at least twice
a year.
Cleaning the Outside
IMPORTANT: Unplug the beverage
center/wine chiller before cleaning.
To clean the inner liner and racks, use
a warm water and baking soda solution—
about 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.
To avoid water stains on the wood
shelves, clean up and dry any liquid spills
immediately.
Wipe the control panel with a damp
cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning
sprays, large amounts of soap and water,
abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—
they can damage it. Some paper towels
can also scratch the control panel.
Cleaning the Inside
Defrost whenever frost on the inside
surfaces of the storage area becomes
1/
8 ″ (3 mm) thick
.
Nev
er use a heater
of any k
ind, scraper or sharp instr
ument
to remove frost as it may damage
the beverage center/wine chiller.
T
o defrost,
unplug the beverage center/
wine chiller. Remove the contents and wipe
inside surfaces and racks with a clean
towel. If frost does not come off easily,
allow the fr
ost to melt somewhat and
wipe off.
After defrosting, make sure inside surfaces
are dry; then return the contents to the
bev
erage center/wine chiller and set the
temperatur
e contr
ol to the desir
ed setting.
NOTE: The drain pan above the compressor
may be f
