CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING
• Turn the temperature control to "0", unplug the unit, and remove the food, shelf, and tray. Put food into another
refrigerated area such as a cooler.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to a quart of water. The freezer area should be room temperature before cleaning.
• Wash the shelf and tray with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
• Return food to fridge after unit has cooled.
WARNING
Never touch the interior of the freezer chamber or
frozen foods in the compartment with wet hands
as this could result in frost bite.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your unit if you minimize the
number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper
steps to protect your food.
VACATION TIME
• Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean
and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if
necessary.
MOVING YOUR UNIT
• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
• Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the unit stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of unit with a blanket,
or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room (temperature above 5°C), away from heat producing
appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run
longer.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up
inside the unit.
• Inside of unit (shelves) should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the unit less eff cient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one
time, and close the door as soon as possible.
