Maintenance
Proper maintenance of your U-Line product will ensure
efficiency, top performance and long life. The
maintenance intervals listed are based on normal
conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you
have pets or other special considerations.
Defrosting
Automatic (Cycle) Defrost and Frost-Free Models
These models do not produce frost in normal operating
conditions. However, a frost pattern may be noticed on
the interior walls if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high
heat or high humidity location. If this frost pattern does
not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual
defrosting.
WARNING
DO NOT use any type of electrical heating device,
ice pick, knife or other sharp instrument to
defrost; this could damage the inner lining or
refrigeration system and void the warranty.
IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
The drain pan was not designed to capture the
water created when manually defrosting. To
prevent water from overflowing the drain pan,
place towels or other absorbent materials over the
interior drain trough, under the evaporator (Figure
7, 1), before defrosting.
Figure 7
To defrost:
1. Turn unit off.
2. Remove all products from the interior and prop the
door in an open position (2 in. (5 cm) minimum).
3. Allow the frost to completely melt naturally. Clean the
interior and all removed components using a mild non-
abrasive detergent and warm water solution applied
with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
NOTE: DO
NOT use any solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. They
will discolor or damage the interior.
4. Dampen a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth in clean
water and wipe down the cabinet interior and removed
components to remove any detergent residue. Rinse the
sponge or cloth in clean water and repeat as necessary
until the cabinet and components are clean.
5. When the interior is dry, turn unit back on.
Condenser Cleaning
Interval - Every Three Months
To maintain operational efficiency, keep the front grille
free of dust and lint and clean the condenser every three
months. Depending on environmental conditions, more
or less frequent cleaning may be necessary.
WARNING
Disconnect electric power to the unit before
cleaning the condenser.
To remove and replace the grille for access to the
condenser fins, follow this procedure:
Figure 8
1. Disconnect electrical power to the unit.
2. Loosen two screws (Figure 8, 1) completely.
NOTE: Screws are held in the grille by o-ring retainers,
and will not come free of the grille.
3. Remove the grille.
WARNING
DO NOT touch the condenser fins. The condenser
fins are SHARP and can be easily damaged.
