MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Cabinet
Clean the inside of the cabinet and the doors weekly with a warm water solution of mild household liquid
dishwashing detergent (such as Palmolive green or Ivory). Do not use anything containing grit,
abrasive materials, bleach or harsh chemicals. Be cautious with new or improved formulas; use only
after being well tested. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean soft cloth.
Gaskets
Door gaskets should be cleaned weekly using a warm water solution of mild household liquid
dishwashing detergent (such as Palmolive green or Ivory). Never allow gaskets to contact concentrated
cleaners or disinfectants. This can cause premature failure of the gasket material.
Condenser Coil
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING THE CONDENSING
UNIT.
Check the condenser coil weekly. This surface must be kept free of dirt and grease for proper system
operation. Remove the front trim panel and carefully vacuum or brush dirt and lint from the condenser
coil. Replace the trim panel.

When needed, flush these components with fresh water. This should be a part of any routine
