Exterior Cleaning

•Stainless door panels, and handles can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or cleaners with bleach.

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

•Do not clean with steel wool pads.

•Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on any glass surfaces.

•Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.

•Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for stainless steel on stainless 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 nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. Always finish 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 to become blurred.

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

Interior Cleaning

•Disconnect power to the unit.

•Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild nonabrasive 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 transfer taste to the interior products and damage or discolor the lining.

Defrosting

Minor Frost on the rear wall, or visible through the evaporator plate vents is normal and will melt during each off cycle. If there is excessive build-up of 1/4" or more, manually defrost the unit.

•Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly.

•High ambient temperature and excessive humidity can also produce frost.

CAUTION

DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp instrument to help speed up defrosting. These instruments can puncture the inner lining or damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use any type of heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up defrosting can cause personal injury and damage to the inner lining.

IMPORTANT

The drain pan was not designed to capture the water created when manually defrosting. To prevent water from overflowing the drain pan and possibly damaging water sensitive flooring the unit must be removed from cabinetry.

WARNING

Do not attempt to manually defrost your unit without first contacting customer care. The unit must be removed from installation to properly defrost. Attempting to defrost the unit without following proper procedure may result in substantial water damage.
