Automatic defrosting
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because
ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted
automatically. Ice is depositing on the inner back wall
during the compressor operation; later on, when the
compressor is not operating ice is defrosting and
water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the
inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the
compressor, from where it evaporates.
Cleaning the appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the
appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as
you can damage the surface.
Cabinet
Your new stainless steel unit can maintain its new luster
for the life of the product if maintained as described
below. Keep the outside clean. Regularly polish the
stainless steel exterior to preserve and protect the fine
finish. Do not apply to plastic and rubber components.
To avoid scratching the fine finish of the stainless steel,
wipe in the same direction as the grain when polishing
or cleaning any stainless steel surface. The grain on the
outdoor/indoor refrigerator runs top to bottom on all
sides and front to back on the top canopy.
For regular cleaning, use clean water and a soft cloth. If
stains persist, wash with mild soap using a soft cloth or
non-abrasive pad.
Warranty does not cover damage due to
improper cleaning methods.
Interior
Wash the inside with mild soap and water or baking soda
and water. Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent, polish
cleaner or undiluted detergent.
Door gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and
water, a baking soda solution or a mild scouring powder.
Rinse well.
After cleaning the door gasket, apply a thin layer of
paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door gasket at the
hinge side. This helps keep the gasket from sticking and
bending out of shape.
Light bulb replacement
Unplug the appliance before replacing the light bulb.
To remove the light shield, push in the tab on the left side
of the shield and lower it.
Replace with a 15 watt appliance bulb.
In the event of power failure
If power fails, you can maintain interior temperature
longer by keeping the door closed. Open the door only
when necessary to avoid the loss of cold air.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Drain hole
Periodically check the drain hole and channel for any
debris. If the drain is blocked, condensation will not drain
properly.
To check and clean the drain hole, remove the bottom
two glass shelves. Sweep a damp cloth along the channel
in the back of the outdoor/indoor refrigerator. Use a
finger to sweep away any debris from the drain hole.
