CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Vacation Time
• Short vacation: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacation: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth,
leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
Moving Your Unit
• Remove all food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the unit stays secure in the upright position during transport. Also protect the outside of
unit with a blanket or similar item.
Energy Saving tips
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the
compressor to run longer.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This
cuts down on frost build up inside the unit.
• Unit wire rack should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many
items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
GRANITE MAINTENANCE
Outdoors can be very harsh on the granite of your refrigerator. There are things visible that can
affect the granite like dirt and pollen and things not visible like UV Rays. Please follow these
instructions to preserve the granites natural beauty:
• Granite is a hard, non-porous natural stone and is relatively not affected by harsh chemicals
however it is recommended to use a neutral cleaner or stone soap (available in hardware
stores or from a stone dealer), or a mild dishwashing liquid and warm water.
• Use a soft, clean cloth to clean the granite. Rinse after washing with the soap solution and dry
with a soft, clean cloth.
• Blot up spills immediately, before they penetrate the surface.
• Clean as often as needed to keep grime and dirt removed.
• Granite must be sealed to prevent or minimize staining and/or fading. Leaving granite unsealed
may make it difficult to remove stains in the future. It is recommended to seal your granite
outdoors every 4-6 months depending on climate conditions.
