Care and Cleaning Chart
NOTE
• Turning the temperature control to “OFF” (See
ELECTRONIC CONTROL
section) turns off the
compressor, but does not disconnect electrical power to the lights or other electrical compo-
nents. Unplug the unit or switch the breaker that supplies power to the unit to the off position.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface
when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture
of warm water and mild detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you
have already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
