Important Notes:

• For faster chilling of room temperature wines, consider pre-chilling the bottle in a refrigerator or freezer for a short period before placing it in the unit.
• The unit is designed to bring wine to and maintain specific temperatures, not for rapid chilling from very high temperatures.

Care and Maintenance

• **Cleaning**: Always unplug the unit before cleaning. Wipe the exterior and interior chilling chamber with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water. The interior chilling chamber is not removable for dishwasher cleaning; hand wash only.
• **Storage**: When not in use, ensure the unit is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• **Ventilation**: Keep the ventilation grilles on the back and sides of the unit clear of obstructions to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
