CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Ø Defrosting Your Wine Cooler
Defrost the Wine Cooler when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick.
Set the thermostat dial to “0” position. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. After defrosting, return
the thermostat dial to the desired position. To defrost quickly remove Wines from the Wine Cooler
and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the
evaporator.

• Turn the temperature control to "0", unplug the Wine Cooler, and remove the Wine and shelves.
