General Cleaning
Exterior Cleaning (As Required)
Vinyl Clad (Black or White) Models:
• Surfaces may be cleaned with a mild detergent and
warm water solution. Do not use solvent-based or
abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with
clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent
water spotting.
• Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass
cleaner.
Stainless Models:
• Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor
when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt
water or cleaners with bleach.
• Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with
a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish
on a monthly basis. For best results use Claire
®
Stainless
Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be purchased from
U-Line Corporation (P/N 173348). Comparable products
are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will remove surface
contamination that could lead to rust. Some
installations may require cleaning on a weekly basis.
• Do not clean with steel wool pads.
• Do not use stainless steel cleaners/polishes on
any glass surfaces.
• Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass
cleaner.
• Do not use cleaners that are 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 non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction
of the grain. Always finish this process 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 that is not cleaned up promptly can penetrate into
the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal
of the rust may not be possible.
Interior Cleaning (As Required)
• Disconnect power to the unit. Clean the interior and all
removed components using a mild non-abrasive
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 transmit
taste to the interior products and damage or
discolor the interior.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance of your U-Line product will ensure
efficiency, top performance and long life. The
maintenance intervals listed are based on normal
conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you
have pets or other special considerations.
Defrosting
Automatic (Cycle) Defrost Models
Automatic defrost models do not produce frost in normal
operating conditions. However, a frost pattern may be
noticed on the interior walls if the unit is repeatedly
opened in a high heat or high humidity location. If this
frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will
require manual defrosting.
WARNING
DO NOT use any type of electrical heating device,
ice pick, knife or other sharp instrument to
defrost; this could damage the inner lining or
refrigeration system and void the warranty.
IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
The drain pan was not designed to capture the
water created when manually defrosting. To
prevent water from overflowing the drain pan,
place towels or other absorbent materials over the
interior drain trough, under the evaporator (Figure
10, 1), before defrosting.
