Changing The Light Bulbs - Dacor EF48NBSS Use And Care Manual

Cleaning
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Important information to know about glass shelves and
covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both compartments about once a month to avoid
build-up of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
To Clean Your ReFrigerator:
1. Remove the top grille and turn off the main power switch. See
Turning the Main Power Switch On/Off on page 3.
2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.
3. 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.
• Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring 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. These items can scratch
or cause damage.
• To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g
to 0.95 L] of water).
4. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing
chlorine. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Additionally, to avoid
damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or
auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic
parts.
NOTE: To keep you stainless steel surfaces looking like new
and to remove minor scuffs or marks, you may use Dacor
Stainless Steel Cleaner. Use it according to the directions on
the bottle.

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,
dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does
occur, clean the plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent
in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Clean the condenser coils located behind the top grille
ventilation panel regularly. Coils may need to be cleaned as
often as every other month. This may help save energy. Use
a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the
condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
Turn the main power switch on and replace the top grille.
Changing the Light Bulbs

to replace the bulb with one of the same size and shape. The
dispenser light requires a heavy duty 10-watt bulb. All other lights

are available from your Dacor dealer or appliance store.
