CLEANING
5.1
Defrosting
•
Defrost the unit when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is
about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick. Set the thermostat dial to “OFF” position.
•
Remove frozen or perishable foods from the chiller compartment and place it in a cooler
to protect the food.
•
During the defrost cycle, the ice melts into the water drip tray.
•
To remove the water, either remove the water drip tray and/or place a collection
container under the tray. Use a sponge or towel to pick up the melting ice off the unit
floor.
•
Dry the water collection tray and place back under the chiller compartment. Defrosting
usually takes a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat dial to the desired
position. To defrost quickly remove all foods from the unit and leave the door open.
Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.
5.2
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
•
Remove shelves and the salad bin.
•
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of baking soda and then wipe clean with
a “wrung-out” sponge or cloth of warm water. Wipe completely dry before replacing the
shelves and salad bin.
•
Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior and finish with a standard furniture polish. Make
sure the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the door seal or inside the unit.
•
The condenser grille located at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be
vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

Cleaning Tips
Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to change in room
temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified
technician for assistance.
