TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
A
ny piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean.
Condenser
T
he condenser underneath the cabinet does not require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends on
a
dequate ventilation over this heat exchanger. It is recommended to annually clean the condenser by vacuuming and
brushing. To access the condenser, the unit must be pulled out from the installation and the lower machine
compartment access cover removed.
Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow openings in front of the cabinet. At least once or twice a year, brush
or vacuum lint and dirt from the front grille area.
Cabinet
The cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. NEVER use abrasive
scouring powders.
Interior
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. DO NOT USE abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner or
undiluted detergent.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. Use a liquid cleaner designed for stainless steel
when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT USE steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. DO NOT
permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surfaces, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel.
Brass Parts
CAUTION: All brass parts are coated with an epoxy coating. DO NOT USE BRASS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON
THE BRASS PARTS. All brass parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. When hot soapy water will not do
the job, use every day non-abrasive household cleaners.
Glass Door
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water with a soft cloth to clean the glass door. DO NOT USE any abrasive
powders. On full overlay models, use caution when cleaning near logo area.
Painted Surfaces
Wash with warm soapy water. DO NOT USE steel wool, abrasive cleansers, ammonia, acids or commercial oven
cleaners which may damage the finish.
Door Gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water, a baking soda and water solution, or a mild scouring
powder.
WARNING
Disconnect the power cord before removing the access cover.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.
1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance, (cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct or other heat sources.
2
. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Assure the toe grille vents at front of unit beneath door are not obstructed. Keep toe grille vents clean to allow
v
entilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not shared with other appliances.)
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever large quantities of warm contents are placed within refrigerated
storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment
set- point temperature.
6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will require less appliance run-time than an empty compartment.
7. Assure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing in product.
9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set-point that meets your personal preference and provides the proper storage
for your stored contents.
11. For wine storage products:
a. When serving temperatures are not required, return the compartment(s) set-point to the ideal red and white
wine long term storage temperature of 13°C/55°F.
b. For Dual-Zone product with two (2) independent temperature controlled compartments, use the lower
compartment for the coldest storage/serving temperature, (i.e. - red wines on top, white wines in lower).
12. Minimize use of display lighting option on glass door products, (light stays on with door closed).
13. When on vacation or away from home for extended periods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable temperature for
the stored contents.
14. Set the control to the “OFF” position if cleaning the unit requires the door to be open for an extended period of time.
15. Annually clean condenser heat exchange coil located in machine compartment underneath unit, (see Cleaning and
Maintenance section).
