Cleaning
CONDENSER CLEANING
For all Sub-Zero built-in models, the condenser is located
behind the flip-up grille. To access, pull out on the bottom
edge of the grill and tilt forward. Using a soft bristle brush,
vacuum to remove dust and lint from the condenser. Refer
to the illustration below for location of the condenser.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To avoid bending the condenser fins,
be sure to vacuum in the direction of the fins (up and
down). Clean the condenser area every three to six
months.

Do not use a metallic or highly abrasive cleaner or
cloth, as this will scratch the stainless steel finish.
STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR
To clean the exterior of a stainless steel model, use a soft,
nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner like Signature polish
and apply with a soft lint-free cloth.
Signature polish is available from Signature Limited
Laboratory, P. O. Box 13436, Dayton, Ohio 45413, or call
877-376-5474.
To bring out the natural luster of the stainless steel, lightly
wipe the surface with a water-dampened microfiber cloth
followed by a dry polishing chamois. All work should
follow the grain direction of the finish. Better results are
obtained by keeping the cloth in continuous contact with
the stainless steel.

Before cleaning the condenser, shut off power to the
unit at the control panel. Wear gloves to avoid injury
from sharp condenser fins.
Failure to clean the condenser could result in tempera-
ture loss or mechanical failure or damage.
