7. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

7.1. Defrosting Your Wine Cooler

Defrost the Wine cooler when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is

about 5 mm (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 Drinks from the Wine

cooler and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other metal instrument

to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.

7.2. Cleaning Your Wine Cooler

• Turn the temperature control to "0", unplug the Wine cooler, and remove

the Wine and shelves.

• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution.

The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of

water.

• The outside of the Wine cooler should be cleaned with mild detergent

and warm water.

• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area

of the controls, or any electrical parts.

Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
