Annual cleaning

 

It is essential to thoroughly clean your wine fridge every year. The best time for an annual cleaning is after the summer months, before turning your heat on for the winter.

 

Why?

Yearly cleaning and maintenance are essential to keep your wine fridge running smoothly. This regular maintenance routine ensures increasingly efficient energy consumption over the long term and helps extend your appliance’s lifespan.

The 4 main steps are:

  1. Unplug your wine fridge, and remove all bottles and accessories (racks, display units, etc.).
  2. Dampen your cloth in a solution of warm water and mild detergent and start cleaning! Wash both the outside and inside of your wine fridge. We also recommend that you clean all your accessories. Don’t forget to thoroughly dry off all parts with a dry cloth.
  3. Clean the rear ventilation grille (cooling system) to ensure heat exchange.
  4. Dry all the outer parts of the wine fridge, including the door seal, with a clean, dry cloth.

 

By investing time in the yearly maintenance of your Goguette wine fridge, you extend its lifespan, while preserving the quality of your wines.
