Cleaning
Stainless Models
Stainless door panels and handles can discolor when 
exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or 
cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a 
good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish 
monthly. For best results use Claire
®
 Stainless Steel 
Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable. 
Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that 
could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning 
weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool pads.
Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on 
any glass surfaces.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass 
cleaner.
Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for 
stainless steel on stainless steel surfaces (this 
includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it 
quickly with Bon-Ami
®
 or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser
®
and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. 
Always finish with Claire
®
 Stainless Steel Polish and 
Cleaner or comparable product to prevent further 
problems.
Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite™ will 
cause the graining in the stainless steel to 
become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the 
surface of the stainless steel and complete 
removal of the rust may not be possible.
Integrated Models
To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the 
cabinet manufacturer’s recommendation.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit. 
Clean the interior and all removed components using a 
mild nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution 
applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth. 
Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.
Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive 
cleaners.
 These types of cleaners may transfer taste to 
the interior products and damage or discolor the lining.
DEFROSTING
Under normal conditions this unit does not require manual 
defrosting. Minor frost on the rear wall or visible through 
the evaporator plate vents is normal and will melt during 
each off cycle. 
If there is excessive build-up of 1/4" (6 mm) or more, 
manually defrost the unit.
Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly. 
High ambient temperature and excessive humidity can 
also produce frost. 
CAUTION
!
DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp 
instrument to help speed up defrosting. These 
instruments can puncture the inner lining or 
damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use any type of 
heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up 
defrosting can cause personal injury and 
damage to the inner lining.
