Care and Cleaning (cont.)
Do not use concentrated liquid
dishwashing detergent (dissolve in
warm water before using), abrasive
cleaners, solvents or polishing
agents on plastic parts, These
cleansers may cause cracking or
discoloration.
Do not wash plastic parts in an
automatic dishwasher. They may
warp. (The butter dish and food
storage containers can be washed
in a dishwasher. See page 15 for
details.)
Ice Maker. If your water has a
high mineral content, the ice maker
may require periodic cleaning.
Cleaning with vinegar should
remove most of the build*up.
Contact your dealer for assistance
with ice maker removal, cleaning
and reinstallation, An in-line
water filter may also be necessary.
Clean Defrost Drain Pan. The
pan is located underneath the unit
behind the toe grille. Every three
months, remove the drain pan, wash
it with warm soapy water, rinse and
dry. When replacing the pan, make
sure it is directly underneath the
defrost water tube that extends from
the back of the unit. Pull the toe
grille forward to remove.
Clean Condenser Coil. The con-
denser coil is located behind the toe
grille. Use a long-handled bottle
brush and a vacuum cleaner to
remove dust and lint from the coil,
A suitable brush can be purchased
from your Amana dealer. Dust and
lint act as an insulator and prevent
the coil from expelling heat taken
from inside the unit. Failure to keep
the coil clean will reduce cooling
performance and efficiency.
Reconnect Power Cord. After
cleaning, reconnect the power cord.

to be lingering in the refrigerator or
freezer, the following procedures
