Stainless Models
Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor
when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or
cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a
good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish
monthly. For best results use Claire
®
Stainless Steel Polish
and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable. Frequent
cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead
to rust. Some installations may require cleaning weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool pads.
Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on any glass
surfaces.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.
Do not use cleaners not speci cally intended for stainless
steel on stainless steel surfaces (this includes glass, tile,
and counter cleaners).
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami
®
or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser
®
and a
nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. Always nish
with Claire
®
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable
product to prevent further problems.
Using abrasive pads such as ScotchBrite™ will cause the
graining in the stainless steel to become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of
the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may
not be possible.
Integrated Models
To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the
cabinet manufacturer’s recommendations.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit.
Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild
nonabrasive detergent and warm solution applied with a soft
sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.
Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. These
types of cleaners may transfer taste and/or odor to the
interior products and damage or discolor the interior.
DEFROSTING
Under normal conditions this unit does not require manual
defrosting. Minor frost on the rear wall or visible through the
evaporator plate vents is normal and will melt during each
cycle.
If there is excessive build-up of 1/4” (6 mm) or more, manually
defrost the unit.
Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly.
High ambient temperature and excessive humidity can also
produce frost.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp instrument to help
speed up defrosting. These instruments can puncture
the inner lining or damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use
any type of heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up
defrosting can cause personal injury and damage to the
inner lining.
Maintenance
NOTICE
The drain pan was not designed to capture the water
created when manually defrosting. To prevent water
from over owing the drain pan and possibly damaging
water sensitive ooring, the unit must be removed from
cabinetry.
To defrost:
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Remove all products from the interior
3. Prop the door in an open position (2 in. [50 mm]
minimum).
4. Allow the frost to melt naturally.
5. After the frost melts completely, clean the interior and
all removed components. (See INTERIOR CLEANING).
6. When the interior is dry, reconnect power and turn unit
on.
