CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR FRIDGE
To clean your fridge:
• Unplug the fridge and remove anything inside. Clean accessories with soap and
water—do not submerge.
• Wash the inside of the unit with a solution made of warm water and gentle
detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Use mild, soapy water to clean the unit's door seal.
• Thoroughly clean the back and bottom of the beverage fridge.
• To clean the outside of the unit, use a mild detergent and warm water. Dust the
outside of the unit every 6 months.
• Allow all components to dry completely before returning to regular use.
DEFROSTING YOUR FRIDGE
To prevent ice buildup on the inside of the beverage fridge, it may be necessary to
defrost occasionally:
1.
Unplug the beverage fridge.
2.
Allow frost to melt from the inside of the fridge. If necessary, use a plastic utensil to
scrape ice from the interior surface.
3.
Dry thoroughly before plugging it in again.
4.
Do not allow the unit to defrost while the door is shut and sealed—prop open the
door to prevent mildew buildup.
GOING AWAY?
• Short vacation: Leave the fridge in operation during vacations of less than a month.
• Long vacation: If you are not going to use the fridge for extended periods, remove
everything stored inside and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior
thoroughly. To prevent mold growth, leave the door open slightly. (Restrict children's
access to the room with the open fridge to avoid creating a child entrapment risk.)
MOVING THE FRIDGE
•
Unplug the fridge and remove everything kept inside. Securely tape down the door
and shelves. Turn the leveling feet up to the base to avoid damage.
•
CAUTION: Never pick up the refrigerator by the door.
•
Protect the outside of the unit with a blanket or similar soft material and make sure
the fridge stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES
Be sure to make any locks unusable, remove any door(s), and dispose of the unit
following local guidelines.
