Exterior Cleaning
• 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 polish monthly. For best
results use Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can
be purchased from U-Line Corporation (Part Number 173348).
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 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 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.
Interior Cleaning
• Disconnect electric current 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
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 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.
NOTICE
The drain pan was not designed to capture the water
created when manually defrosting. To prevent water from
overflowing the drain pan and possibly damaging water
sensitive flooring the unit must be removed from furniture.
CAUTION
!
Do not attempt to manually defrost your unit without first
contacting customer care. The unit must be removed from
installation to properly defrost. Attempting to defrost the
unit without following proper procedure may result in
substantial water damage.
