Personal Injury Hazard Watch out for sharp wire ends at top of condenser coils. They can cause injury or damage brush.
To clean condenser coils, use a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment. Slide freezer out away
from the wall. Clean dust and lint from condenser coils behind the freezer, every two or three months.
