Maintenance Tips      

• Clean or replace air filters regularly to maintain airflow and cooling efficiency
• Keep condenser and evaporator coils free of dust buildup for stable temperature control
• Ensure vents and grilles remain unobstructed for proper heat exchange
• Inspect and clear condensate drain/evaporation system to prevent leaks or humidity issues
• Check wall sleeve seals to prevent warm air infiltration into the wine cellar
• Maintain 2–6 inch clearance around airflow zones for optimal performance
• Verify thermostat, humidity sensor, and controls for accurate cellar conditions
• Inspect electrical connections and plug integrity for safe continuous operation
• Keep exterior-rated grille clean to prevent airflow restriction and corrosion buildup
• Schedule annual HVAC servicing to maintain refrigerant efficiency and long-term reliability
