Care and Maintenance
CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all contents from the appliance and store them in
a suitable place.
Clean the inside, the door seal and the inside of the glass with a clean, damp cloth.
Never use detergents or other substances that emit odors.
Always keep the door closed when cleaning the outside of the appliance. Make sure no detergent odors
penetrate into the appliance.
Clean the side panels and door surfaces with a clean and soft cloth. If necessary, use a moist cloth. Al-
ternatively, use a microfiber cloth.
The humidity tray should be hand-washed with water and detergent. After cleaning, always make sure
the tray is thoroughly rinsed with clean water before replacing.
VACATION TIME
Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than two days.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for an extended period, remove all items and turn off
the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
Remove all items inside the appliance.
Securely tape down (we recommend using painter’s tape) all loose items (shelves) inside your appli-
ance.
Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
Tape (we recommend using painter’s tape) the door shut.
Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation and protect the exterior
of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
PREPARING FOR STORAGE
If the appliance will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be necessary to
defrost the unit and dry the interior.
1. Disconnect the
appliance
from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall socket.
2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew and unpleasant smells.
CAUTION
: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have children, you may want to take
additional precautions such as removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside the ap-
pliance.
