CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
∙Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves.
∙Wipe the interior with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of water.
∙Wipe the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
∙Wipe the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent.
∙Do not use steel wool or steel brush on the stainless steel. These will erode the stainless steel and rusting may occur.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance could result in electrical shock or personal
injury.
PREMISES POWER FAILURE
∙Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be out for an extended period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.
VACATION TIME
∙Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than two days
∙Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for an extended period, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
∙Remove all items inside the appliance.
∙Securely tape down (we recommend using painter’s tape) all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
∙Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
∙Tape (we recommend using painter’s tape) the door shut.
∙Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation and protect the exterior of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
∙The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of any direct sunlight.
∙Ensure that the appliance is adequately ventilated. Never obstruct the air vents.
