CARE AND MAINTENANCE
?Cleaning Your Unit
?Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the unit, and remove the food, and shelf.
?Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
?Wash the baskets with a mild detergent solution.
?The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
CAUTION
Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
?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 vacations 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. Cleanand 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 in the upright position during transportation.
?Energy Saving Tips
?The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
?Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading theunit forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
?Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost
?The storage basket/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.
