Care and Maintenance 

CAUTION: 

Failure to unplug the appliance during service could result in electrical shock or 

personal injury. 

 

 

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE  

 

Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including glass shelves and crisper drawer.  

 

Wipe the interior with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of 
baking soda to one quart of water.  

 

Wipe the shelves with a mild detergent solution.  

 

Wipe the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent.  

 

Do not use steel wool or steel brush on the stainless steel. These will erode the stainless steel and rusting 
may occur.  

 

 

 

 

 

PREMISES POWER FAILURE 

 

In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically memorized. If power 
is interrupted (power surge, breaker switch, etc.) and then powered up again, the unit will operate with the 
last temperature set-point. 

 

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 door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of 
time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.  

 

VACATION TIME 

 

Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than two days 

 

Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for an extended period, remove all items and turn off the 
appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. 

 

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE 

 

Remove all items inside the appliance.  

 

Securely tape down (we recommend using painter’s tape) all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.  

 

Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.  

 

Tape (we recommend using painter’s tape) the door shut.  

 

Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation and protect the exterior of 
appliance with a blanket, or similar item.  

 

ENERGY SAVING TIPS 

 

The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and 
out of any direct sunlight. 

 

Ensure that the appliance is adequately ventilated. Never obstruct the air vents. 

 

Close the door tightly and do not open the appliance too frequently or for a long period of time. 

 

Store the content in an organized way  

 

Do not over-fill the appliance to allow air to circulate  

 

 

CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance could result in electric shock or personal injury
