Cleaning the Exterior of the Wine Vault
To preserve the fine finish, regularly polish the stainless steel exterior and handle with stainless steel cleaner and the Monogram polishing cloth. Stainless steel cleaner and the Monogram polishing cloths are available through the GE Monogram Wine Vault Hotline, 877.234.WINE (877.234.9463). For stainless steel cleaner, order part number WR97X10116. For the Monogram polishing cloth, order part number WR97X10117.
■To avoid scratching the fine finish of the stainless steel, wipe in the same direction as the grain when polishing or cleaning any stainless steel surface.
■Never use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
■Never use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach, or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and damage the finish.
■ Using the hose on your vacuum cleaner, remove any dust off the exterior cooling system vent every 6 months.
