CAUTION
EXPOSURE TO MICROBIAL GROWTH (MOLD) CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS
Standing water in drain pans promote microbial growth (mold) that cause unpleasant odors
and serious health-related indoor air quality problems. If mold is found, remove it
immediately and sanitize that portion of the system.
The Wine Guardian is designed for minimum maintenance. The refrigerant system is
hermetically sealed and requires no maintenance. The fans are permanently lubricated and
require no maintenance. Some maintenance to the system may be required due to dust or dirt in
the air stream.
