B. Maintenance
WARNING
• Unplug the appliance before performing maintenance to prevent electric shock or
injury by moving parts. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the plug
with damp hands.
• Before performing maintenance, move all foods into another clean refrigerator or
freezer.
1. Condenser
Check the condenser once a year, and clean if required by following the steps below.
More frequent cleaning may be required depending on location.
1) Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do not touch the plug with damp hands.
2) Remove the screws securing the front panel, then pull and lift the front panel out slightly
to remove it. See Fig. 39.
NOTICE!
Be careful not to pull out the front panel too
far because there are power wires and thermistor wires attached to the control
module in the front panel.
3) Without pulling on the wires, set the panel to the side.
4) Use a brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to gently clean the condenser fins. Do not
use too much force, otherwise the fins could be damaged.
WARNING! Condenser fins
are sharp. Use care when cleaning.
5) Replace the front panel in its correct position. Ensure that the screw is securely in place.
6) Plug the appliance back into the electrical outlet.
