CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The wine cellar has a fully automatic defrost function.
•
Periodically clean the vents with a vacuum cleaner or brush.
•
The periodical presence of water droplets on the rear wall inside the appliance indicates the automatic
defrost phase.
The defrost water is automatically run into a drain hole and then into a container where it evaporates.
•
Clean the defrost water drain hole regularly using the tool supplied with the appliance, to ensure constant
and correct removal of the defrost water.
If necessary...
1.
Completely empty the wine cellar.
2.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply.
3.
Leave the door ajar (approx. 3-4mm) to prevent the formation of mould, unpleasant odours and
oxidation.
4.
Clean the appliance.
•
Clean the inside regularly with a sponge moistened with lukewarm water and/or neutral detergent. Rinse
and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
•
Clean the outside with a soft cloth moistened with water. Do not use abrasive pastes, scouring pads, stain-
removers (e.g. acetone, trichloroethylene) or vinegar.
•
Clean the outside of the glass with any specific detergent and the inside only using a moist cloth, avoiding
the use of other detergents, to ensure correct storage of the wine.
Rack cleaning
Use a moist cloth to clean the oak racks.
Be careful not to damage the seal when removing the rack from the appliance. Therefore is it advisable to
open the door fully.
