Normal Phenomena
You may notice the following phenomena happening with your appliance. They are normal and should
not be a cause for alarm.
You may hear a sound like water flowing. This is refrigerant flowing through the pipes.
The compressor, condenser or the sides of the unit feel warm, or even hot.
Under conditions of high humidity, moisture forms on the outer cabinet or doors. This can be wiped
away with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Disconnect power from the appliance before any cleaning or maintenance is performed.
Cleaning Your Appliance
Disconnect the appliance and remove all items, including baskets.
Using a clean sponge or soft cloth, wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking
soda (about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water). Dry thoroughly after cleaning to avoid
rust.
Wash the baskets 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.
Never use organic or acidic liquids, boiling water, washing powder or other abrasive cleansers to
clean the unit. Do not use steel wool or a steel brush.
If there are condenser coils on the back of the unit, wipe them off regularly to keep the unit well
ventilated.
CAUTION:
Failure to unplug the appliance before cleaning could result in electrical shock or other personal injury.
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 doors are 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

Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

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
doors open slightly.
