Cleaning the outside
Your new stainless steel Monogram unit can maintain its new luster for the life of the product if maintained as described below.
Keep the outside clean. Regularly polish the stainless steel exterior and handle with Stainless Steel Magic™ and the Monogram polishing cloth, to preserve and protect the fine finish. Do not apply to plastic and rubber components.
To avoid scratching the fine finish of the stainless steel, wipe in the same direction as the grain when polishing or cleaning any stainless steel surface. The grain on the outdoor/indoor refrigerator runs top to bottom on all sides and front to back on the top canopy.
For regular cleaning, use clean water and a soft cloth. If stains persist, wash with mild dish soap using a soft cloth or
NOTE: Always reapply Stainless Steel Magic with the Monogram polishing cloth after cleaning or if your unit comes in contact with water, to protect the fine finish.

For Stainless Steel Magic, order part number WX10X15. For Monogram polishing cloth, order part number ZPOL.
Always remove any debris or obstruction from the front of the toekick to ensure optimum performance.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on any stainless steel surface.
Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and damage the finish.

Cleaning the inside
Unplug the outdoor/indoor refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical, turn the unit OFF and wring excess moisture out of the cloth or sponge when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution— about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.
Other parts of the outdoor/indoor
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Rough handling of tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Drain hole
Periodically check the drain hole and channel
for any debris. If the drain is blocked, condensation will not drain properly.
Drain hole
To check and clean the drain hole, remove |
|
the bottom two glass shelves. Sweep a damp |
|
cloth along the channel in the back of the |
|
outdoor/indoor refrigerator. Use a finger to |
