CARE AND CLEANING

Protecting Your investment
Before cleaning your appliance, turn off
power to your appliance by unpluging the
power cord from the electrical outlet.
Keeping your appliance clean maintains
appearance and prevents odor build-up.
Wipe up any spills immediately and clean
the appliance at least twice a year. When
cleaning, take the following precautions:
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners
with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in
a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord
from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do
not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments which can scratch the
appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate.
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as win-
dow sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes,
flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concen-
trated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic
parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet
liners. Do not use paper towels, metallic
scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning
materials or strong alkaline solutions.
CAUTION
• Pull the appliance straight out to move
it. Shifting it from side to side may
damage flooring.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal
surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated
surfaces with wet or damp hands.
Vacation and Moving Tips
Short Vacations: Leave the unit operating
during vacations of less than 3 weeks.
Long Vacations: If the appliance will not
be used for several months:
• Remove all food and unplug the
power cord.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
• Leave the door open slightly, blocking
it open if necessary, to prevent odor
and mold growth.

these guidelines to prevent damage:
• Disconnect the power cord plug from
the wall outlet.

and shelves by taping them securely
in place to prevent damage.
