BEVERAGE COOLER CARE
Cleaning
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Clean the beverage cooler about once a month to avoid odor
buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.
To clean your beverage cooler:
1.
Unplug beverage cooler or disconnect power.
2. Remove all racks and shelves from inside the Beverage
Cooler. See the instructions in “Shelves”.
3.
Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
■
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
■
To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to
1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L] of water).
4. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing
chlorine. These can scratch or damage materials. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
5. Replace the racks and shelves.
6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located behind
the base grille. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as
every other month. This may help save energy.
■
Remove the base grille. See “Base Grille.”
■
Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to
clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
■
Replace the base grille.
7. Plug in beverage cooler or reconnect power.
Lighting the Beverage Cooler
Shelves
■
To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have
the door all the way opened when pulling shelves out of the
compartment.
■
For easy access to the storage content, you can pull the
shelves approximately 1/3 out of the compartment. This unit
was designed with a notch on each side of the shelf to prevent
bottles from falling.
Please refer to the following directions for removing and
replacing the shelves.
When removing any of these shelves out of the compartment,
tilt the shelf as per the diagram and simply pull out, or push in
the shelf until it sits on the support brackets securely.
■
The Beverage Cooler has an interior LED light strip that may
be turned off or remain on depending on your preference.
Refer to the “Operating Your Beverage Cooler” section for
information on controlling the interior light.
