Cabinet Cleaning
The cabinet interior should be cleaned frequently. Any
spilled liquid should be wiped off immediately. Stains
resulting from some spills can be permanent if not quickly
removed. The most convenient time to clean the interior
is after defrosting. The cabinet exterior should be
cleaned occasionally. A mild detergent and lukewarm
water or a solution of bicarbonate of soda (1 tablespoon
per gallon of water) is recommended for cleaning the inte-
rior and exterior of the cabinet. All surfaces should be
rinsed and thoroughly dried.
Cleaning the Condenser
For efficient operation, it is recommended that the con-
denser coil and fan be cleaned every 4 to 6 months. The
condenser coil is located behind the base grille, at the
bottom of the unit. See
Leveling the Unit
for instructions
on removing the base grille.
Vacuum clean the front surface of the coil thoroughly, or
direct forced air through the condenser from the rear. If
necessary, use a stiff bristled brush to loosen any dirt.
Failure to keep the condenser clean will void the warran-
ty.
Condensate Evaporator Pan
The condensate evaporator pan is located behind the
base grill between the condenser fan and compressor.
This pan should be cleaned at least once a year to pre-
vent foul odors and operate efficiently. Vacuum clean if
dry, or sponge clean with soapy water.

er coil or evaporator pan should be
done by qualified personnel.
