WARNING
INSTRUCTIONS
Door Closing
Your wine cellar has four leveling legs. If your wine cellar seems
unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, adjust the
wine cellar’s tilt using the instructions below.
Unpack the Wine Cellar
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install wine cellar.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove the Packaging
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the wine cellar. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your wine cellar. For
more information, see “Wine Cellar Safety.”
Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
When Moving Your Wine Cellar:
Your wine cellar is heavy. When moving the wine cellar for
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with
cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull
the wine cellar straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle
or “walk” the wine cellar when trying to move it, as floor
damage could occur.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your wine cellar before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
“Wine Cellar Care.”

WINE CELLAR CARE
Cleaning
Clean the wine cellar about once a month to avoid buildup of
odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
To Clean Your Wine Cellar:
1. Unplug wine cellar or disconnect power.
2. Remove all racks from inside the wine cellar.
3. Clean the interior.
Lighting the Wine Cellar
The refrigerator has an interior light that comes on any time the
door is opened. Refer to the “Using the Controls” section for
options on controlling the interior light.
NOTE: The light is an LED which does not need to be replaced. If
the LED does not illuminate when the door is opened, call Service
to replace the light. See “Assistance or Service” for contact
information.
Style 1 - Models with stainless steel trim
Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
dissolved in warm water, hand wash and rinse thoroughly the
removable parts and interior surfaces. Dry with a soft cloth.
Style 2 - Models with wooden trim
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging wooden trim pieces, wipe
the trim with a clean sponge or soft cloth and warm water. Do
not use detergent or immerse the entire rack into water when
cleaning.
Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
dissolved in warm water, hand wash and rinse thoroughly the
removable parts and interior surfaces. Dry with a soft cloth.
■ Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
■ To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with
a mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt
[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

WARNING
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or cleaners containing
chlorine. These can scratch or damage materials. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
NOTE: To keep your stainless steel wine cellar looking like
new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner
and Polish. To order the cleaner, see “Accessories.”
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only. Do
not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into
contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,
dispenser covers, or door gaskets. If unintentional contact
does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild
detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
5. Replace the racks.
6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located behind
the base grille. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as
every other month. This may help save energy.
■ Remove the base grille. See “Base Grille.”
■ Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to
clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
■ Replace the base grille.
7. Plug in wine cellar or reconnect power.
Vacation and Moving Care
Vacations
If you choose to turn the wine cellar off before you leave, follow
these steps.
1. Remove all wine bottles from the wine cellar.
2. Unplug the wine cellar.
3. Clean the wine cellar. See “Cleaning.”
4. Tape a rubber or wood block to the top of the door to prop it
open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your wine cellar to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all wine bottles from the wine cellar.
2. Unplug the wine cellar.
3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.
4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
5. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the wine
cellar.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the “Installation Instructions” section for preparation instructions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your wine cellar will not operate
■ Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
■ Has a household fuse blown or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
■ Is the Wine Cellar Control turned to the Off position? See
“Using the Control.”
121212121212121212121212
The lights do not work
■ Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
■ Your wine cellar is equipped with LED lighting which does not
need to be replaced. If there is power to the wine cellar and
the lights do not illuminate when the door is opened, call for
service or assistance.
The motor seems to run too much
■ Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect
the motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80%
of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even
more of the time.
■ Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer
when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get
everything you need out of the wine cellar at once, keep wine
bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to find,
and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.
■ Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See “Using the Control.”
■ Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut.
If it will not shut all the way, see “The door will not close
completely” later in this section.
■ Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air transfer
and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils.
See “Cleaning.”
Temperature is too warm
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
■ Is the door opened often? Be aware that the wine cellar will
become warm when this occurs. In order to keep the wine
cellar cool, try to get everything you need out of the wine
cellar at once, keep wine bottles positioned label side up so
that they are easy to find, and close the door as soon as the
wine is removed.
■ Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See “Using the Control.”
■ Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not
install the wine cellar behind a cabinet door or block the
base grille.
There is interior moisture buildup
The door is difficult to open
■ Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to
get everything you need out of the wine cellar at once, keep
wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to
find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.
When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters
the wine cellar. The more often the door is opened, the faster
humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very
humid.
■ Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the
wine cellar when the air is humid.
■ Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See “Using the Control.”
■ Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the
surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on
the gasket following cleaning.
The door will not close completely
■ Are the racks out of position? Put the racks back into their
correct positions. See “Wine Cellar Use” for more
information.
■ Is the gasket sticking? Clean the gasket and the surface
that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gasket
following cleaning.
■ Is the door installed properly? If the door was reversed
improperly, re-installation may be required. See “Reverse
Door Swing.”
