MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC CLEANING
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the freezer.
Beginning with the initial installation, the interior surfaces of the cabinet should be periodically
wiped down with a solution of warm water and baking soda (two tablespoons in one quart of warm
water). This solution will remove any odors from spillage that has occurred. The exterior of the
cabinet should also be cleaned frequently with warm water and a mild liquid detergent. Caution: Do
not use an abrasive or alkaline solution. Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
Defrosting
This unit is a manual defrost freezer. During normal operation, it will build up a coating of frost/ice
on the evaporator shelves. When the frost layer gets too thick (1/2 inch) it will affect the
performance of the unit causing the internal temperature to rise. When this happens the unit will
need to be manually defrosted. To manually defrost the unit, remove the product stored in the
cabinet, block open the door and disconnect the unit from power.
