INTERNAL CLEANING
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning
agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, chemical cleaning agents, or highly perfumed cleaning products to clean
the interior as these will damage the surface and leave behind a strong odor. A sponge, towel, or soft brush is
recommended. Wash with a mixture of two tablespoons (30 ml) of baking soda to 1 quart (1.14 L) warm water.
After cleaning, wipe all surfaces with a soft cloth and clean water to rinse, and allow the freezer to dry.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Wash the outside of the cabinet with warm water and a mild soap or detergent.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, chemical cleaning agents, steel wool or scouring sponges to
clean the freezer as it may cause damage to the surfaces.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the internal temperature of the
appliance if the number of times the door is opened is kept to a minimum. If the power is going to be off for a
longer period of time, take the proper steps to protect the contents.
Note:
Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the freezer if operation has been interrupted.
VACATION
• 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 disconnect the
appliance from its power source. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave
the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
MOVING
• Remove all items.
• Tape down shelves inside the appliance.
• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays in the upright position during transportation. Protect the outside of the appliance
with a blanket.
• If the appliance is placed on its back or side during transportation, upon reaching the destination, allow it to
remain upright for 6 hours before plugging in to avoid damage to internal components.
