12 AUTOMATIC DEFROST • The ice build-up on the inner back wall during compressor operation will be automatically defrosted in a compressor off cycle. • When defrosting is in process, the indicators for both zones will go off, and the circulation fans for both zones will run. • Each zone has its own drip pan placed at the bottom against the rear wall (see Parts on page 4). • Defrostwater will drain out passing through the drain outlet in the inner back wall into a drain pan located above the compressor, from where it evaporates. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning Your Appliance • Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and remove all contents. • Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in lukewarm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently. The outside of the appliance should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth. Dust or anything else blocking the vent may hinder the cooling efficiency of the appliance. Vacuum the vent if necessary. Vacation Time • Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations less than 3 weeks. • Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for 3 weeks or more, remove all content and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly. Moving Your Appliance • Unplug the unit from the wall outlet, and then remove all contents. Securely tape down all loose items inside your appliance. Lastly, tape the doors shut. Energy Saving Tips • The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight. Ensure that the door is closed when the appliance is plugged in. EN - 12
