Energy Saving Tips; Care And Cleaning - AGA marvel 3CARM Installation & Operation Manual

The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating
your refrigeration appliance.
1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance, (ovens,
glassware washers, etc.). heating air duct, or other heat
sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Ensure the toe grille vents at front of unit beneath door are
not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation for the
refrigeration system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not
shared with other appliances).
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever large
quantities of warm contents are placed within refrigerated
storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next
12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment set
temperature.
6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will re-
quire less appliance run time than an empty compartment.
7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in
your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing
in product.
9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set-temperature that
provides the proper storage for your stored contents.
11. Set the control to the "off" position if cleaning the unit re-
quires the door to be open for an extended period of time.
12. Annually clean condenser heat exchange coil located in
machine compartment underneath unit, (see "Care and
cleaning" page 16).

ENERGY SAVING TIPS AND CARE AND CLEANING
Condenser
The condenser underneath the cabinet does not require fre-
quent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends on ad-
equate ventilation over this heat exchanger. It is recommended
to annually clean the condenser by vacuuming and brushing.
To access the condenser, the unit must be pulled out from the
installation, and the lower machine compartment access cover
removed.
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the condenser.
Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow openings
in front of the cabinet. At least once or twice a year, brush or
vacuum lint and dirt from the front grille area (see page 4).
Cabinet
The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water and
thoroughly rinsed with clear water. NEVER use abrasive scouring
cleaners.
Interior
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. DO NOT
use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted de-
tergent.
Glass Door (optional)
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and soft cloth to clean
the glass door model. DO NOT use any abrasive cleaners.
Door Gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water, a bak-
ing soda solution or a mild scouring powder.
In the Event of a Power Failure
Minimize the number of door openings to prevent a gradual rise
in temperature while the power is off.
NOTE: If a power interruption occurs, the unit may take five (5) to
ten (10) minutes to restart.
