Part Number: 104416
CAUTION: When servicing the unit, disconnect from the electrical power source
The cabinet interior should be cleaned frequently. Any spilled liquid should be wiped off immediately. Stains resulting from some spills can be permanent if not quickly removed. The most convenient time to clean the interior is after defrosting. The cabinet exterior should be cleaned occasionally. A mild detergent and lukewarm water or a solution of bicarbonate of soda (1 tablespoon per gallon of water) is recommended for cleaning the interior and exterior of the cabinet. All surfaces should be rinsed and thoroughly dried.
CAUTION: Do not use any type of abrasive such as steel wool, or fluids such as gasoline, Naphtha, or thinner. These materials could be harmful to plastic materials, door gasket, and painted surfaces.
For efficient operation, it is recommended that the condenser coil and fan be cleaned every 4 to 6 months.. The condenser coil is located behind the base grille, at the bottom of the unit.. See Leveling the Unit for instructions on removing the base grille.
Vacuum clean the front surface of the coil thoroughly, or direct forced air through the condenser from the rear. If necessary, use a stiff bristled brush to loosen any dirt. Failure to keep the condenser clean will void the warranty.
Caution: Accessing and cleaning the condenser coil or evaporator pan should be done by qualified personnel.
The condensate evaporator pan is located behind the base grill between the condenser fan and compressor. This pan should be cleaned at least once a year to prevent foul odors and operate efficiently. Vacuum clean if dry, or sponge clean with soapy water.
