Care and Maintenance 
Cleaning Your Appliance: 
1. Unplug the appliance, turn the thermostat to STOP (0) and remove all contents, including 
shelves. 
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar. Wipe dry with a 
clean, soft cloth. 
3. Wash the shelves, drip tray and crisper with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry 
thoroughly. 
4. Wash the outside cabinet with a solution of warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well 
and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. 
5. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the temperature 
control or any electrical parts. 
6. From time to time, wipe the condenser on the rear wall with a soft 
non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner. 
7. After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the power 
supply, reset the thermostat and return all contents to their place. 
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or personal injury. 
Power Failure: 
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of 
your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to 
be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your chilled items. 
Vacation Time: 
During long absences, remove all contents. Unplug the appliance, clean it and leave the door 
open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors. 
Moving Your Appliance: 
1.  Remove the contents. 
2.  Securely tape down all shelving inside your unit. 
3.  Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage. 
4.  Tape the door shut. 
5.  Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. 
Energy-Saving Tips: 
  The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing 
appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight. 
  Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is damp and hot. Once you 
open the door, close it as soon as possible. 
  Occasionally check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind 
the appliance). 
  Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depending on how 
loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature, etc.). 
  Before loading items into the unit, be sure they have cooled to ambient temperature.
