WARNING
DO NOT use any type of electrical heating device,
ice pick, knife or other sharp instrument to
defrost; this could damage the inner lining or
refrigeration system and void the warranty.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
The drain pan was not designed to capture the
water created when manually defrosting. To
prevent water from overflowing the drain pan,
place towels or other absorbent materials over the
interior drain trough, under the evaporator (Figure
18), before defrosting.
Figure 18
To defrost:
1. Turn unit off.
2. Remove all products from the interior and prop the
door in an open position, 2 in. (5 cm) minimum.
3. Allow the frost to completely melt naturally. Clean the
interior and all removed components using a mild non-
abrasive detergent and warm water solution applied
with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
CAUTION
DO NOT use any solvent-based or abrasive cleaners.
They will discolor or damage the interior.
4. Dampen a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth in clean
water and wipe down the cabinet interior and removed
components to remove any detergent residue. Rinse the
sponge or cloth in clean water and repeat as necessary
until the cabinet and components are clean.
5. When the interior is dry, turn unit back on.
Condenser Cleaning
INTERVAL - EVERY 3 MONTHS
To maintain operational efficiency, keep the front grille
free of dust and lint and clean the condenser every three
months. Depending on environmental conditions, more
or less frequent cleaning may be necessary.
WARNING
Disconnect electric power to the unit before
cleaning the condenser.
To remove and replace the grille for access to the
condenser fins, follow this procedure:
Figure 19
1. Disconnect electrical power to the unit.
2. Loosen two screws
(Figure 19)
completely.
Note: Screws are held in the grille by o-ring retainers, and
will not come free of the grille.
3. Remove the grille.
WARNING
DO NOT touch the condenser fins. The condenser
fins are SHARP and can be easily damaged.
CAUTION
DO NOT use any type of cleaner on the condenser
unit.
4. Clean the condenser coil
(Figure 19)
using a soft brush
with a “combing” action or vacuum cleaner. Do not
touch the condenser coil.
5. Position the grille to align the mounting screws with
the holes in the cabinet.
6. Secure, but do not over-tighten both grille screws.
7. Reconnect power to the unit.
Clear Ice Maker Cleaning
INTERVAL - EVERY 6 MONTHS
To maintain operational efficiency, clean the unit every six
months (depending on water conditions, more or less
frequent cleaning may be necessary). If the ice maker
