Cleaning and Maintenance

warning

To avoid possible injury due to electric shock, disconnect the power cord before cleaning the appliance.

•Clean only the parts of the unit listed in this manual. Clean them only in the manner specified.

•Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Steam could penetrate the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

•Do not allow water or cleaning fluids to penetrate into the electrical components, control panel or ventilation grill.

To avoid damage to your appliance’s surfaces and accessories during cleaning:

•Use only the types of cleaning solutions specified in this manual.

•Do not use abrasives such as steel wool, scouring pads, rough sponges, or scrub brushes.

•Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with the grain.

Defrosting

The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. Water may form on the rear wall as part of the defrost process. It drains into a reservoir at the back of the appliance and is heated so that it evaporates.

Cleaning the surfaces

Stainless Steel Surfaces

•Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solution of detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

•You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner on the stainless steel surfaces. Use it according to the directions on the package.

•Stainless steel that is exposed to chlorine gas and moisture may have some discoloration. This discoloration is normal. If your unit is used in this type of environment, clean and polish your stainless steel more often.

•If the surface discolors or rust appears, clean it quickly with a non-abrasive cloth and protect it.

Interior Surfaces

•Clean interior surfaces with a mild solution of detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
