CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Warning: To avoid electric shock always
unplug your wine cellar before cleaning.
Ignoring this warning may result in death or
injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products,
always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings to avoid personal
injury or product damage.
General Cleaning
Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of
baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge
or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning
solution, to wipe down your wine cellar. Rinse
with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives,
ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated
detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads.
SOME of these chemicals may dissolve, damage
and/or discolor your wine cellar.
Power Interruptions
Occasionally there may be power interruptions
due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove
the power cord from the AC outlet when a power
outage occurs. When the power has been
restored, replug the power cord into the AC
outlet.
Vacation and Moving Care
For long vacations or absences, unplug the unit,
empty contents from wine cellar, and clean the
wine cellar and door gaskets according to
General Cleaning section. Prop doors open, so
air can circulate inside. When moving always
keep the wine cellar upright. Do not move the
unit lying on its side.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.
WINE TIPS AND HINTS
When choosing wine, take advantage of the
knowledge of the personnel in the wine store
as well as reviews of wines from wine
publications. The price of a wine is not
necessarily indicative of relative quality. Very
good wines can be purchased at comfortable-
for-the-wallet prices. When you nd a
comfortably priced wine, purchase in quantity
to have on hand as your “house wine.” Keep it
chilled in your Cuisinart

Private Reserve
®
Wine Cellar and be ready for any occasion.
Pairing wine with food has really become a
matter of personal taste – the rules are no
longer hard and fast that white wine is paired
only with sh or light meats and red wine is
paired only with red meats. A Pinot Noir can
complement a grilled sh just as well as it
complements a grilled llet of beef.
What needs to be kept in mind is the
personality of the wine itself, the preparation
of the foods, and the tastes of those who will
be enjoying them. You may want to open a
bottle each of red and white and allow your
guests to choose.
The wine should please the diner, and never
overpower or ght with the food with which it
is served. Likewise, the food should not
overpower or ght with the wine.
Wine is a part of healthy living – the USDA’s
guidelines are based upon the “Mediterranean
diet.” They include wine in moderation – for
women this is one glass per day and two
glasses per day for men. A glass size is 4
ounces. The difference in gender amount
is based upon body size.
As for cooking with wine – never cook with
a wine that you would not drink!
