Residential Models (if so equipped)
™ NOTE: If you are using electric to power the refrigerator, make sure you are
connected to a 120-volt power source.
The ice maker should be turned off and the ice tray emptied when power to
your motor home has been shut off. With no power, the ice will melt and water
will "pool" in the refrigerator door. When power is restored, the vibration will
cause this water to run out of the door and on to the motor home floor.
Cleaning Your Refrigerator
The following are general cleaning guidelines. For detailed information on cleaning your
specific refrigerator, refer to the manufacturer's user guide.
Cleaning the Interior
1.
Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.
Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a
clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
3.
Inside the refrigerator, use a warm water and baking soda solution consisting of ap-
proximately 1-tablespoon (15ml) baking soda to 1 quart (1 liter) of water. This solution
cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
4.
Leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer to help prevent odors.
™ NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scour-
ing cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents,
bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other
harsh cleaning tools.
There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal operating environments. If the
environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or if there is significant pet traffic, the condenser
should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
Remove the base grille.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, the open areas behind
the grille and the front surface area of the condenser.
Replace the base grille when finished.
Cleaning the Exterior
Painted metal exteriors: wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in
warm water.
Stainless steel exteriors: wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in
warm water. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or other products containing chlorine
