5. Maintenance
Cleaning
The sleek silver stainless steel frame is fingerprint-resistant and easy to clean. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water for regular cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Automatic Defrost
The wine fridge features an automatic defrost system, minimizing the need for manual defrosting. During the defrost cycle, frost on the evaporator will melt and drain into a tray at the back of the unit, where it evaporates.
Charcoal Filter
The internal carbon purification system helps eliminate odors and keeps the interior fresh. It is recommended to replace the charcoal filter annually. Please refer to the manufacturer's website or contact support for replacement filters.
