V. c - REPLACING THE GASKETS:
To remove the gasket to be replaced, grasp it firmly by
one corner and pull it out. Before attempting to install a
new gasket, both the unit and the gasket itself must be
at room temperature. Insert the four corners first by
using a rubber mallet (or hammer with a block of wood).
After the corners are properly inserted, work your way
towards the center from both ends by gently hitting with
a mallet until the gasket is completely seated in place
(see figure 11 for proper gasket placement).
NOTE: The gasket may appear too large, but if it is
installed as indicated above it will slip into place.
V. d - CLEANING THE EXTERIOR:
Exterior stainless steel should be cleaned with warm
water, mild soap and a soft cloth. Apply with a
dampened cloth and wipe in the direction of the metal
grain.
Avoid the use of strong detergents and gritty, abrasive
cleaners as they may tend to mar and scratch the
surface. Do NOT use cleansers containing chlorine, this
may promote corrosion of the stainless steel.
Care should also be taken to avoid splashing the unit
with water, containing chlorinated cleansers, when
mopping the floor around the unit.
For stubborn odor spills, use baking soda and water
(mixed to a 1 TBSP baking soda to 1 pint water ratio).
V. e - CLEANING THE INTERIOR:
For cleaning both stainless steel and anodized
aluminum interiors, the use of baking soda as described
in section
“
V. d” is recommended. Use on breaker strips
as well as door gaskets. All interior fittings are
removable without tools to facilitate cleaning.
V. f - ADJUSTING THE SHELVES:
For shelves mounted on pins, first select the desired
location and remove the white plastic covers in the
interior back and sides by rotating them counter-
clockwise. Remove the shelf pins by rotating them
counter- clockwise. Install the pins in the desired
location by rotating clockwise. Make sure the pin is
securely tightened down. Do not over tighten. Slide the
shelf into its new position, and replace the white plastic
covers into the holes vacated by the shelf pins.

Lift-Up Louver
Assembly
V. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER:
Once the screws are removed, the panel can be pivoted
upwards allowing full access to the front facing
condenser (see figure 9).
Vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust from the finned
condenser coil, the compressor and other cooling
system parts (see figure 10). If significant dirt is
clogging the condenser fins, use compressed air to
blow this clear.
Lower louver assembly and replace the screws to hold
it in place.
V. b - HINGE REPLACEMENT:
Both the door and hinge can be easily removed from the
cabinet. To remove the door, remove the plug at the
bottom of the top hinge. Inside the hinge there is a small
screw which secures the door in place. Remove this
with a flat head screwdriver and the door can then be
lifted off the hinge. To remove the door portion of the
hinge from the door, lift off the hinge cover and then
remove the three Phillips head screws which secure the
hinge in place on the door. To remove the cabinet
portion of the hinge, remove the three Phillips head
screws which hold it in place. On solid door units, the
top hinge(s) contains a microswitch for controlling the
interior lighting.
To reassemble the hinge reverse the previous procedure.
