Use and Care Manual

 In all small refrigerators without interior fans, temperatures are coldest near the
bottom, and occasionally near the rear. Place contents accordingly. It is best not to
operate these units mostly empty. If temperatures are erratic, try putting some water
bottles inside to create a load for the compressor.
 Most shelves are adjustable. In models with glass shelves, these shelves stop short
an inch before the back wall. This is essential for air flow and the proper operation of
the automatic defrost system. Do not block these gaps.
 The interior light for the FF7LBLPUB series models is controlled by a manually-
operated rocker switch. To maintain the proper interior temperature, keep the light on
only as long as necessary and turn it off before closing the door.
 If the Pub Cellar is unplugged, has lost power or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting it. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit
will not start.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Appliance:
1. Unplug the appliance and remove all contents, including shelves.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar. Wipe dry
with a clean, soft cloth.
3. Wash the shelves and any other interior accessories with a mild detergent solution,
then rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Wash the outside cabinet with a solution of warm water and mild liquid detergent.
Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. For stainless steel surfaces, routine cleaning can be accomplished by using warm
water and a cloth. Dry with a towel or cloth to prevent water spots. Wipe in the
directions of the brush lines. For cleaning that needs more power, you can use a mild
detergent in warm water. Make sure to rinse the surface thoroughly to prevent
staining and spotting. Towel dry.
6. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the digital
thermostat or any electrical parts.
7. From time to time, wipe the condenser on the outer rear wall with
a soft non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner. See illustration.
8. After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the power
supply and return all contents to their place.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the unit before cleaning could result in
electrical shock or personal injury.
Power Failure:
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If
the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps
to protect your chilled items.
Vacation Time:
During long absences, remove all contents. Unplug the appliance, clean it and leave the
door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold or odors.
