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
on stainless steel. Stainless steel can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless
steel cleaner. A spray-on stainless steel cleaner works best.
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into contact with any plas-
tic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional
contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
For silver-accented plastic parts, wash with soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean with
a sponge or damp cloth. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach as these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.Replace the base
grille when finished.
Washer/Dryer Prep (if so equipped)
If your recreation vehicle was built with washer/dryer prep, be aware the
cabinet space provided is intended for the installation of an aftermarket
washer/dryer combo unit (customer supplied) only. Please consult your
dealer or the manufacturer for installation assistance.
A dryer vent opening must be cut into the sidewall of the RV if installing
a dryer. A label has been installed to assist you in placing the vent in the
correct location. The label will be located in the area where the dryer
will be installed. Instructions on how to cut the dryer vent hole and how
to install the dryer vent in the wall of the RV are included in your warranty packet
