Before cleaning:
• Remove food from the appliance and
store it well covered.
• Unplug the appliance from the
electrical outlet.
Clean the appliance interior and interior
accessories regularly with a cloth and
lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive
cleaners. After cleaning rinse with fresh
water and rub dry. When everything is
dry, plug the appliance back into the
electrical outlet to resume operation.

electrical hazard) from power source
when cleaning unit. Never clean the
appliance with a steam cleaner. Allow

oils or organic solvents, such as lemon
juice, orange peel extract, butyric acid
or cleaners containing acetic acid. Such
cleaning agents may dissolve, damage
or discolor appliance surfaces.

metal instrument to remove frost.
Defrosting
To defrost:
1.
Unplug the appliance from the
electrical outlet.

ice water accumulation from
appliance floor.
5.
After all ice has melted and all
water accumulation has been
wiped away, close door and plug
the unit back into electrical outlet
to resume operation.
