General Cleaning

Exterior Cleaning (As Required)

Surfaces may be cleaned 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.

Stainless Steel Doors:

•Stainless steel surfaces and components can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with bleach.

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

•Do not clean with steel wool pads.

•Do not use cleaners that are not specifically intended for stainless steel on stainless steel 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 non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process 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 steel to become blurred.

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

Interior Cleaning (As Required)

•Disconnect power to the unit. 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. Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.

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

Maintenance

Proper maintenance of your U-Line product will ensure efficiency, top performance and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets or other special considerations.

Defrosting

Automatic (Cycle) Defrost Models

Automatic defrost models do not produce frost in normal operating conditions. However, a frost pattern may be noticed on the interior walls if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat or high humidity location. If this frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.

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

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 8, 1), before defrosting.
