Appliance Care
Cleaning the Appliance:
NOTE: Use nonflammable cleaners.
Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.
1. Unplug appliance or disconnect power.
2. Remove all stored items, then remove the drawers (see page 6).
3. Wash the inside walls and the drawers with a solution of mild detergent in
warm water or 2 tbsp baking soda to 1 quart of warm water.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays,
scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated
detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on
plastic parts, interior and drawer liners or gaskets. Do not use paper
towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch
or damage surfaces.
4. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Use the appropriate cleaning method for the exterior finish.
Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners,
or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth. For additional protection against damage to painted metal
exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft
cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.
Stainless steel (including interior of drawers): Routine cleaning can be
accomplished by using warm water and a cloth. Dry with a towel or
cloth to prevent water spots. Wipe in the directions of the brush lines.
For cleaning that needs more power, use a mild detergent in warm
water. Make sure to rinse the surface thoroughly to prevent staining
and spotting. Towel dry to prevent water spots. As an alternative, use
a commercial stainless steel cleaner, following directions carefully.
6. Replace drawers and plug in appliance or reconnect power.
7. Replace all stored items.
8. Every now and then wipe the condenser on the rear wall. Use a soft non-
metal brush or vacuum cleaner.
Loss of Power:
After the power is restored, unplug the appliance for 30 minutes to allow the
refrigeration system to equalize. During this time, keep the drawers closed
as much as possible.
Remember: A full appliance stays cold longer than a partially filled one.
