Defrosting
Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most ambient conditions.
However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid the ambient conditions, the more
frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize
frost build-up.
If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use a soft
absorbent towel to dry the unit.
WARNING: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object.
Normal Sounds
Your new wine refrigerator may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces like the floor or walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the
kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line.
• Items stored on top of the wine refrigerator can also make noises.
• The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
• The internal fan will run frequently to create a consistent internal temperature environment.
• Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your wine refrigerator.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life.
INTERIOR CLEANING:
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Open the door and remove the contents and shelves.
3. Wait until the unit defrosts.
4. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior of the unit.
5. Reinsert the shelves and beverages.
6. Reconnect power to the unit.
EXTERIOR CLEANING:
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and lukewarm water solution such as two (2) tablespoons of
baking soda to one (1) quart of water. Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with
clean water. Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting. If the door panel is stainless steel, it can discolor
when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent and
warm water solution. Never use an abrasive or caustic cleaning agent.
