DEFROSTING/CLEANING
Figure 19
Keep your stainless steel looking new by cleaning
with a good quality stainless steel cleaner or polish
monthly. High quality stainless steel cleaners and
conditioners are commercially available.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS or
ABRASIVE PADS. DO NOT use cleaners that
are not for use on stainless steel, such as
glass cleaners, tile cleaners or cleaners used to
clean counter tops. These types of cleaners can
damage the surface permanently.
Stainless steel that is exposed to chlorine gas
and moisture may have some discoloration. This
discoloration is normal. If your unit is used in this
environment, clean and polish your stainless steel
more often.
If the surface discolors or rusting appears, clean
it quickly with a non-abrasive cloth and protect it.
Always clean and polish in the direction of the grain
and finish.
IMPORTANT
Mold can form on the bottles and labels
depending on the type of adhesive used on
the labels. This can be prevented by care
-
fully cleaning any adhesive residues off the
bottles.
Defrosting
The appliance compartment defrosts automatically.
The water that forms on the rear wall drains
into a reservoir at the back of the appliance and
evaporates automatically through the compressor
heat.
