14 Maintenance Maintaining Your Wine Cooler/ Beverage Center Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets or other special considerations. Exterior Cleaning for Your Stainless Steel Model • Your stainless steel model may discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water, or cleaners with bleach. • Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a high quality, all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly basis. Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations will require cleaning on a weekly basis. • DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS. • DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY INTENDED FOR STAINLESS STEEL (this includes glass, tile and counter cleansers). • If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process with a high quality, all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish to prevent further problems. • USE OF ABRASIVE PADS SUCH AS SCOTCHBRITE WILL CAUSE THE GRAINING IN THE STAINLESS TO BECOME BLURRED. • Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the surface of the stainless steel and become impossible to remove. Interior Cleaning - as Required 1 Disconnect power to the wine cooler / beverage center. 2 Remove racks if desired, see "WINE RACK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION" below. 3 Wipe down the interior with a solution of nonabrasive mild detergent and warm water. 4 Rinse with clear water. 5 Reconnect power to the unit. Wine Rack Removal/Installation 1 Open door fully. 2 Extend wine rack fully. 3 Ball bearing slide features plastic release latches on each side. Push release latches, then pull wine rack out. 4 To reinstall, push ball bearing slides in fully. Slide rack into ball bearing slide ensuring each side engages properly. CAUTION • Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture such as areas with spas or swimming pools, may have some discoloration of the stainless steel. Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal. Follow exterior cleaning instructions. • NEVER USE CHLORIDE OR CLEANERS CONTAINING BLEACH TO CLEAN STAINLESS STEEL.
