EXTERIOR CLEANING
Stainless Models
Stainless door panels and handles can discolor when
exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or
cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with
a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and
polish monthly. For best results use Claire
®
Stainless
Steel Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are
acceptable. Frequent cleaning will remove surface
contamination that could lead to rust. Some
installations may require cleaning weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool pads.
Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes
on any glass surfaces.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass
cleaner.
Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for
stainless steel on stainless steel surfaces (this
includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami
®
or Barkeepers Friend
Cleanser
®
and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with
the grain. Always finish with Claire
®
Stainless Steel
Polish and Cleaner or comparable product to prevent
further problems.
Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite™ will
cause the graining in the stainless steel to
become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the
surface of the stainless steel and complete
removal of the rust may not be possible.
Integrated Models
To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per
the cabinet manufacturer’s recommendation.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit.
Clean the interior and all removed components using
a mild nonabrasive detergent and warm water
solution applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive
cloth.
Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean
water.
Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners.
These types of cleaners may transfer taste
to the interior products and damage or discolor the
lining.
DEFROSTING
Under normal conditions this unit does not require
manual defrosting. Minor frost on the rear wall or
visible through the evaporator plate vents is normal
and will melt during each off cycle.
If there is excessive build-up of 1/4" (6 mm) or more,
manually defrost the unit.
Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly.
High ambient temperature and excessive humidity
can also produce frost.
CAUTION
DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp
instrument to help speed up defrosting. These
instruments can puncture the inner lining or
damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use any type
of heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up
defrosting can cause personal injury and
damage to the inner lining.
