Important Safety Instructions
Proper Disposal
(of old product)
• Install and level the wine cellar on a floor that will hold its weight and
in an area suitable for its size and use.
IMPORTANT:
Now that you have a new wine cellar, it is extremely important
that you dispose of your old appliance in a way that minimizes
the possibility that children will find it. There have been many
cases in years past of children crawling inside junked and
abandoned refigerators and becoming trapped or suffocated.
• Do not install a wine cellar near a heat source, nor in a location
where the surrounding temperature will fall below 60° F (16° C).
• Do not allow your wine cellar to be exposed to the weather or
outdoor elements.
Contact your municipal waste disposal authority to find out
the best and safest way to dispose of your old product.
• Connect the wine cellar only to the appropriate kind of electrical
outlet, with the correct power supply and grounding. (Refer to the
Electrical Requirements section of the Installation Instructions.)
• Properly maintain the wine cellar.
• Be sure the wine cellar is not used by anyone unable to operate it
properly.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a
flammable propellant in this appliance.
DANGER
Risk of Child Entrapment

Cleaning and Maintenance
Wine Storage Guidelines
Wines that are stored for a long period of time should be stored at a stable
temperature in a dark, vibration free environment. Wines stored for a short
term (six months) can be stored at 55°F (13°C), or they can be stored at
temperatures optimal for serving.
Exterior
Stainless Steel - Clean with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and soft
cloth.
Painted Doors - Clean with mild detergent, warm water and sponge or soft
cloth. Hand wash, wipe and dry thoroughly.
•The ambient temperature of the room you locate your wine cellar in could
affect the temperature in your wine cellar if the room temperature is lower
than the wine cellar compartment setting. The wine cellar is designed to
cool, not heat the stored wines. Temperatures inside the wine cellar
cannot be higher than room temperatures outside of the wine cellar. The
wine cellar is designed to perform at room temperatures of 70°F (21°C)
and above.
Glass - Clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth or paper towel.
Interior
Interior (liner and shelves) - Clean with a baking soda or mild detergent
and water solution and a sponge or soft cloth. Wipe and dry thoroughly.
Take care not to get water on the lights, control panel or wood facings of
the shelves. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.
•In certain conditions, the temperature of the middle zone can vary up to
5°F (2.8°C) from your selected temperature setting.
Gaskets - Clean with a mild detergent and water solution and a sponge,
soft cloth or paper towel. Wash, wipe, and dry thoroughly. Apply a thin
coat of petroleum jelly to keep gasket pliable. Do not use waxes,
concentrated detergents, or cleaners containing chlorine bleach.
Optimal Wine Serving Temperatures
Red wines are generally served from cool to room temperatures (55°F -
65°F [13°C - 18°C]). White wines are served at cellar temperatures (50°F -
55°F [10°C - 13°C]), and sparkling wines are served at the coolest
temperatures (45°F - 50°F [7°C - 10°C]).
