?Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
CAUTION:
Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
?Use a sponge or towel to pick up the melting ice off theunit floor.
?Remove the frozen food from the chiller compartment and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
?Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your unit 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 food.
?Vacation Time
?Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during va cations of less than three weeks.
?Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
?Moving Your Unit
?Remove all the food.
?Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
?Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
?Tape the door shut.
?Be sure the unit stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of unit with a blanket, or similar item.
?Energy Saving Tips
?The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
?Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer.
?Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost
?Unit storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
?Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
