DOOR WARPING
Our unfinished wood cabinets are not warranted against warping. Because the grain of
the wood is not sealed, it is possible that the wood may become distorted over time.
This is why it is not recommended to purchase a cabinet that is unfinished. Fortunately,
the effects of wood warping can be minimized with the following procedure:
• If your cabinet doors appear warped, leave them open to expose both door
surfaces to the same outside conditions for 48 hours.
• To accelerate the process, wet the contracted (dry) door panel with a damp
towel or sponge and allow the doors to dry, both sides exposed.
• To prevent future moisture exchange and wood warping, thoroughly seal the
outside of the doors with two coats of moisture proof wood sealant.
• Never seal a warped door as it might be impossible to correct the condition after
treatment.
IMPORTANT: Vinotemp is not responsible for reversible moisture induced warping of
unfinished doors or for doors stained and/or sealed after shipment from the factory.
CLEANING YOUR WINE-MATE COOLING UNIT
Cleaning the Condenser
• Clean the condenser regularly at least every 6 months.
• Condenser is located on the ambient air intake side of the cooling unit.
• Use a condenser brush or a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to
clean the condenser.
Removing Condensation
Sometimes, during normal operation of the cabinet, condensation will form inside. This
should be cleaned off. This often happens during periods of high temperature and
humidity, however, too much condensation could also indicate other problems. See
Troubleshooting on the next page.
