Cleaning Maintenance, Wine Tips and Hints

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your wine cellar before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.

Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

General Cleaning

Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your wine cellar. Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your wine cellar.

Power Interruptions

Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power cord to AC outlet.

Vacation and Moving Care

For long vacations or absences, unplug the unit, empty contents from wine cellar, and clean the wine cellar and door gaskets according to General Cleaning section. Prop doors open, so air can circulate inside. When moving always keep the wine cellar upright. Do not move the unit lying on its side.

WINE TIPS AND HINTS

When choosing wine, take advantage of the knowledge of the personnel in the wine store as well as reviews of wines from wine publications. The price of a wine is not necessarily indicative of relative quality. Very good wines can be purchased at comfortable-for-the-wallet prices. When you find a comfortably priced wine, purchase in quantity to have on hand as your “house wine.” Keep it chilled in your Cuisinart™ Private Reserve® Wine Cellar and be ready for any occasion.

Pairing wine with food has really become a matter of personal taste – the rules are no longer hard and fast that white wine is paired only with fish or light meats and red wine is paired only with red meats. A Pinot Noir can complement a grilled fish just as well as it complements a grilled fillet of beef.

What needs to be kept in mind is the personality of the wine itself, the preparation of the foods, and the tastes of those who will be enjoying them. You may want to open a bottle each of red and white and allow your guests to choose.

The wine should please the diner, and never overpower or fight with the food with which it is served. Likewise, the food should not overpower or fight with the wine.

Wine is a part of healthy living – the USDA’s guidelines are based upon the “Mediterranean diet.” They include wine in moderation – for women this is one glass per day and two glasses per day for men. A glass size is 4 ounces. The difference in gender amount

is based upon body size.

As for cooking with wine – never cook with a wine that you would not drink!
