ELECTRICAL PARTS AND COMPONENTS
Disconnect all power supplies and batteries before servicing

INTERIOR LIGHT
This unit is equipped with an interior LED light which will be turned ON when the door is open and the interior fan is stopped at the same time. You can press to manually turn on or tun off the light.

DEFROSTING
The unit defrosts automatically in normal operating conditions. The evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The condensation collects in the drainage channel behind the rear wall of the unit and flows through the drainage hole into the drop tray by the compressor where it evaporates.
However, frost may accumulate on the evaporator 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.
Press and hold for 6 seconds, the unit will be defrosted.
To stop defrost, please repeat the same interaction.

TEMPERATURE ALARM
An audible alarm sounds if the storage temperature is not cold enough. The temperature display flashes at the same time.
The cause of the temperature being too high may be:

• Too much warm ambient air flowed in when rearranging and removing stored items.
• Power failure for some time.
• The appliance is faulty.
  The audible alarm is automatically silenced and the temperature display stops flashing when the temperature is sufficiently cold again.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance 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.
Exterior cleaning for your stainless steel model.

• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including the dispense kit.
• Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
• Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel. These will contaminate the stainless steel with steel particles and rusting may occur.
• Dust the front grill and back of the unit twice yearly, make sure the power is off before cleaning.
• It is recommended to clean the unit completely inside and out yearly to maximize the longevity of the product.
