Refrigerator Care Checklist

Your refrigerator will give you years of trouble free service if you do these simple checks every three to six months:
- Defrost the refrigerator as necessary. See "Defrosting".
- Keep the food compartment and the freezer clean. See "Cleaning".
- Make sure the door seals correctly. See "Door sealing".
- Be aware of any cooling changes that are not because of weather, loading, or thermostat changes. If changes occur, contact your
dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Center.
- Make sure the air flow in the intake vent, through the refrigerator condenser and coils and out the exhaust vent is not blocked or
decreased.
- Keep the condenser fins clean. Do not allow dust and dirt to collect on them.

Defrosting:

It is normal for frost to collect on the freezer plates of the refrigerator. Excess frost decreases the cooling performance of the
refrigerator. Defrost the refrigerator as necessary:
- Put the thermostat in the "0 - OFF" position.
- Remove all food from the refrigerator.
NOTICE
Defrosting the refrigerator makes excess water inside the refrigerator.
- Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator to absorb the water.
- Put trays of hot water in the freezer until the frost is melted.
- Empty the drip tray in either of these two ways:
- Pull the drip tray forward to remove it from the refrigerator.
- Remove the drain plug from the drip tray and allow the water to flow into another container.
- Remove the wet towels (etc.) and dry the interior.
- If removed, put the drip tray in the refrigerator.
- Put all food in the refrigerator.
- Put the power switch / thermostat at the temperature setting that you wish.

Cleaning:

A good time to clean the refrigerator is just after you defrost it.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator as often as necessary to avoid food odors:
- Remove all food from the refrigerator.
NOTICE
Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or scouring pads because they can damage the interior of the refrigerator.
- Wash the interior with a mild cleaner or a solution of liquid dish detergent and warm water.
- Rinse with a solution of baking soda and clean water.
- Dry with a clean cloth.
- Put all food into the refrigerator.
