(REFRIGERATOR: 32 F – 55 F) (FREEZER: -15 F – 20 F)
CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT
To clean the interior, use a mixture of mild soap and warm water. Do not use steel wool, harsh
soap, abrasive cleaners, or bleach as this may cause damage to the surface.
Gaskets should be cleaned on a weekly basis. To do this, remove the door gasket from the f
door frame, soak it in a mixture of mild soap and warm water for about 30 minutes and dry
gently with a soft cloth. When you replace the gaskets on the door make sure they form a
proper seal.
When necessary, clean the bin dividers with a mild soap and water mixture. If any liquid
accumulates on the inside of the unit, remove immediately. Harsh cleaners are not
recommended as they may cause corrosion and deteriorate the life of the unit.
CLEANING THE CONDENSOR COIL
The condenser surface must be kept free of dust, dirt, and small debris at all times. Regular
maintenance includes cleaning the condenser coil at least once a month. To clean, use a
condenser coil cleaner and brush the condenser fins in the direction of top to bottom. After you
finish cleaning, straighten any fins that may have bent during cleaning with a fin comb.
CLEANING THE FAN BLADES AND MOTOR
If there is buildup, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth. If you need to wash the fan
blades, be sure to cover the fan motor first to prevent moisture.
