CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your BeautiFridge®
•
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (a quart of water to
about 2 tablespoons of baking soda).
•
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls are
located, or near any electrical parts.
•
To wash the outside cabinet, remove the dirt with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge, mild
detergent, and water. You can also use most hospital grade cleaners and commercial
disinfectants that are qualified to destroy or suppress the growth of bacteria. Rinse well, and
wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
•
Use an approved stainless-steel cleaner to clean the doors and handle. 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 injuries.
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 BeautiFridge® operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•
•
Long vacations: If the BeautiFridge® 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 slightly open.
Moving your BeautiFridge®
1. Remove all stored items.
2. Securely tape down all loose parts (baskets, dividers) inside your BeautiFridge®.
3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the drawers shut.
5. Be sure the BeautiFridge® stays secure and in an upright position during transportation.
Also, protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
Energy-Saving Tips
•
The BeautiFridge® should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-
producing appliances, and out of direct sunlight.
•
Ensure that the BeautiFridge® is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
•
Do not keep the drawers open longer than necessary.
•
Appliance bins and baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
