How to Clean the Outside
Exterior Cabinet: Use a mild detergent or soap solution and
rinse well. Do not use scouring powder or pads.
In some climates it may be advisable to help protect the cabinet
finish by waxing it. Use a good quality automotive type wax,
taking care not to wax any plastic parts.
How to Clean the Evaporation
Tray
-
Since dust accumulated on the evaporation tray will decrease
the evaporation efficiency, remove the tray and clean it.
Hot-Line
With the freezer-refrigerator in operation, it is possible that the
cabinet will feel warm at the front edges. This does not indicate
trouble. It is attributable to the hot-line design adopted for this
freezer-refrigerator
which consists of piping hot gas from the
(motor-driven) compressor along the front edges of the cabinet
This has nothing to do with the storage temperature inside.
The evaporation tray is set on refrigerator
back. To remove,
unscrew and pull it out.
Replace the evaporation tray by following the removal
instructions in reverse and be sure to secure it properly.
If the tray is not securely in place, defrosted water may spill out
or the evaporation process may be hindered.
