SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
THE FOLLOWING SAFEGUARDS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED
WHEN OPERATING ANY APPLIANCES: DISCONNECT
THE POWER CORD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO WORK
ON OR CLEAN EQUIPMENT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
REMOVE ANY COVERS OR PARTS YOURSELF, AS
THIS CAN EXPOSE DANGEROUS, HIGH VOLTAGE
WIRING. SERVICE SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY
A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. ALWAYS ROUTE POWER
CORDS AWAY FROM AREAS WHERE THEY CAN BE
WALKED ON OR DAMAGED BY OTHER EQUIPMENT.
NEVER USE EXTENSION CORDS OR PLUG MORE THAN
ONE APPLIANCE INTO THE SAME CIRCUIT. THIS CAN
OVERLOAD THE POWER SUPPLY, WHICH CAN RESULT
IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE. YOUR APPLIANCE IS
EQUIPPED WITH A POLARIZED, GROUNDED POWER
PLUG. NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE GROUND
POST OR USE A NON-POLARIZED ADAPTER, WITHOUT
PROPERLY GROUNDING THE EQUIPMENT. IF A
REPLACEMENT PART IS REQUIRED, ALWAYS INSIST
ON FACTORY AUTHORIZED COMPONENTS.
PERIODIC CLEANING PROCEDURE
It is always best to clean your refrigerator or freezer when the
product load in your cabinet is as its lowest level. To clean the
interior or exterior cabinet surfaces, follow these procedures:
1. Disconnect your cabinet from its power supply, remove all
product from inside and temporarily move it to a walk-in or
other refrigerated storage.
2. Open all doors and allow the cabinet to reach room temp-
erature. Remove all accessories (shelves, racks, pilasters,
clips, etc.) from inside and wash them with a baking soda
and warm water solution, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Dry all accessories completely with a soft clean cloth.
3. Once the cabinet has reached room temperature, wash all
inside and outside surfaces with a solution of warm water
and baking soda. Pay particular attention to the face of the
cabinet, as any residue or debris can impair the door seal.
For slightly more difficult cleanups, ammonia or vinegar in
warm water can be used. Rinse thoroughly with clear water
and dry with a soft clean cloth. Carefully wash all of the
vinyl door gaskets with clean water, dry them and check for
any damage, which may affect the seal. Failure to dry all
surfaces completely may cause water stains or streaking on
the aluminum or stainless steel finish.
4. Return all accessories to their original locations, reconnect
the power. Wait at least 1 hour before reloading product.
PRECAUTIONS
NEVER USE HARSH DETERGENTS, CLEANERS,
SCOURING POWDERS, OR CHEMICALS WITH BLEACH
WHEN CLEANING YOUR UNIT.
GENERAL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The most important thing you can do to maintain any refrigerator
or freezer and extend its life, is to keep the condenser clean.
Performance of the air-cooled condensing unit, located on top of
the cabinet, depends exclusively upon the amount of air passing
through the condenser fins. Your refrigerator or freezer will run
more efficiently, consume less energy, and provide a maximum
of trouble-free service throughout its lifetime if the condenser is
kept clean and an adequate supply of clean, cool air is provided
at all times. At least once a month inspect the condenser coil,
located behind the front grill, to check for debris or blockage.
To remove the front grill from KC and BBC models (see Figure
6), remove the (2) screws located at the bottom of the grill. Lift
the grill up and away from the cabinet.
To remove the front grill on CBC models (see Figure 6A),
remove the (4) screws (2 on each side of the grill). Lift the grill
away from the cabinet.
If the condenser coil is dirty or blocked, disconnect the cabinet
power supply and using a stiff brush, carefully wipe away any
dirt and debris from the condenser fins. Using a vacuum cleaner
with a brush attachment may aid in this process. After cleaning,
make sure you can see clearly through the condenser, then
restore electrical power to your model.
CAUTION: CONDENSER FIN PLATES ARE MADE FROM
THIN METAL AND HAVE SHARP EDGES. ALWAYS
WEAR GLOVES. USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON
OR AROUND THE CONDENSING UNIT TO PREVENT
CUTS AND AVOID DAMAGING FINS, TUBING AND
OTHER COMPONENTS. FAILURE TO PROPERLY CLEAN
THE CONDENSER REGULARLY WILL CAUSE EXESSIVE
COMPRESSOR LOAD, REDUCING THE PERFORMANCE
AND EFFICIENCY OF YOUR UNIT. THIS CAN RESULT IN
PREMATURE FAILURE AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
