CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Appliance
•
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including baskets and dividers.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (a quart of water to
about 2 tablespoons of baking soda).
•
Wash the baskets and dividers with a mild detergent solution.
•
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls are
located, or near any electrical parts.
•
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well, and wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth.
•
Use an approved stainless steel cleaner to clean the doors and handles. Do not use steel wool
or a steel brush on the stainless steel.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance before cleaning could result in electrical shock or other
personal injury.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance, if you minimize the number of times the drawers are opened. If the power is going to be
off for a longer period of time, take the proper steps to protect the contents.
Vacations
•
Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn
•
off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave
the drawers open slightly, blocking them open if necessary.
Moving your Appliance
1. Remove all stored items.
2. Securely tape down all loose parts (baskets, dividers) inside your appliance.
3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the drawers shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure and in the upright position during transportation. Also,
protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
Energy-Saving Tips
•
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room or outdoor location, away from
heat-producing appliances, and out of direct sunlight.
•
Ensure that the appliance is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
•
Do not keep the drawers open longer than necessary.
•
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the
appliance forces the compressor to run longer.
•
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance.
This reduces frost build-up inside the appliance.
•
Appliance bins and baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
