CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
 Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including shelves.
 Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (about 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to a quart of water).
 Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
 Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls are located,
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.
 Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance 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 the contents.
VACATION TIME
 Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
 Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off
the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the
door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Remove all items.
2. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also, protect the
outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
 The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances and out of direct sunlight.
 Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated.
 Do not keep the door open any longer than necessary.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance during cleaning could result in electrical shock or
other personal injury.
