Energy-Saving Tips
• Be sure the unit is installed in a well-ventilated area. Never cover air vents.
• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• To minimize the escape of cold air, open and close the doors quickly, and do not keep the doors
open any longer than necessary.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: To prevent any electrical shock or injury by the rotating circulation fan, always disconnect
the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning. DO NOT splash water directly onto
the unit and do not soak the unit with water. Short-circulating and electrical shock could
result.
Cleaning your Appliance
• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including shelves.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (about 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to a quart of water).
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls or any
other electrical parts are located.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth.
• Never use scouring powder, soap powder, benzene, oil or hot water as these will damage the
paint and plastic components.
• Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.
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 the contents.
Vacations
• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn
off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave
the doors open slightly, blocking them open if necessary.
Moving your Appliance
1. Disconnect the plug and remove all loose items from inside the unit.
2. Securely tape down shelves inside the appliance.
3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the doors shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also, protect the
outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
Temporary Storage
Use piece of wood or the equivalent to keep the doors ajar. Do NOT to store the unused cooler in a
location where children play. Should a child enter the compartment and the doors are closed, the
child may not be able to open the doors from the inside.
