Exterior Cleaning

Vinyl Clad (Black or White) Models:

•Clean surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting.

•Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.

Stainless Models:

•Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or cleaners with bleach.

•Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner polish monthly. For best results use Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be purchased from U-Line Corporation (Part Number 173348). Comparable products are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning weekly.

•Do not clean with steel wool pads.

•Do not use stainless steel cleaners polishes on any glass surfaces.

•Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.

•Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for stainless steel on stainless surfaces (this includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).

•If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami® or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser® and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean towards the grain. Always finish with Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product to prevent further problems.

•Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite™ will cause the graining in the stainless to become blurred.

•Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be possible.

Interior Cleaning

•Disconnect power to the unit.

•Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.

•Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.

•Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. These types of cleaners may transfer taste to the interior products and damage or discolor the interior.

Defrosting

Automatic Defrost Models

Frost on the rear wall is normal and will melt during each off cycle. If there is excessive build-up of 1/4” or more, manually defrost the unit.

•Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly.

•High ambient temperature and excessive humidity can also produce frost.

CAUTION

DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp instrument to help speed up defrosting. These instruments can puncture the inner lining or damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use any type of heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up defrosting can cause personal injury and damage to the inner lining.

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 (1), before defrosting.

Evaporators

To defrost:

1.Disconnect power to the unit.

2.Remove all products from the interior.

3.Prop the door in an open position (2 in. (5 cm) minimum).

4.Allow the frost to melt naturally.

5.After the frost melts completely clean the interior and all removed components. (See INTERIOR CLEANING)

6.When the interior is dry, reconnect power and turn unit on.
