Maintenance Tips

• Clean the condenser coil every 30–60 days to maintain optimal cooling efficiency and reduce energy use.

• Wipe down the stainless steel exterior weekly with a mild detergent to prevent smudges and corrosion.

• Clean drawer interiors regularly—remove contents and wipe liners to prevent spills, odors, and bacterial growth.

• Check door/drawer gaskets for cracks or gaps to ensure a proper seal and consistent temperature.

• Avoid overloading drawers to maintain proper airflow and even cooling.

• Defrost only if necessary, as the HC refrigerant system minimizes frost buildup.

• Ensure proper ventilation by keeping the rear and side panels clear of dust and obstructions.

• Monitor temperature settings to maintain safe food storage conditions
