Cleaning & Maintenance
Condenser
The condenser underneath the cabinet does not require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory
cooling depends on adequate 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 painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear
water. NEVER use abrasive scouring powders.
Interior and Door Gaskets
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda with 1 quart
warm water. Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.
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 ventilation 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. Minimize use of display lighting option on glass door products, (light stays on with door
closed).
12. When on vacation or away from home for extended periods, set the appliance to warmest
acceptable temperature for the stored contents.
13. Set the control to the “OFF” position if cleaning the unit requires the door to be open for an
extended period of time.
14. Annually clean condenser heat exchange coil located in machine compartment underneath
unit, (see Cleaning and Maintenance section).
