Storage
Bottles can differ in size. Accordingly, the actual number of bottles you can store may vary.
The approximate maximum bottle capacity can be achieved when storing traditional 750 ml
Bordeaux bottles in bulk storage.
You may load your wine bottles in single rows or by stacking while taking note of the following: if you
do not have enough bottles to fill your wine cellar, it is better to distribute the load throughout the
wine cellar so as to avoid “all on top” or “all below” type loads.
- Remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger types of bottles or
increase the capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles when necessary. (See instructions for
removing shelves, above.)
- Keep small gaps between the walls and the bottles to allow air to circulate. As in an underground
cellar, air circulation is important to prevent mold and to provide a more homogeneous
temperature within the cellar.
- To facilitate air circulation, do not overload your wine cellar.
- Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the rear panel of the wine cellar).
- To prevent bottles from falling, do not try to slide the shelves outward beyond the fixed position.
- Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine cellar to tilt
forward if not properly installed.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Wine Cellar
• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including shelves.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (about 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to a quart of water).
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls are
located, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth.
• Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance during cleaning could result in electrical shock or other
personal injury.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a
longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents.
Vacations
• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn
off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave
the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
