5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Interior
- Disconnect the unit from the power supply.
- Remove all food items and shelves.
- Wash the interior surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Clean shelves with warm, soapy water.

5.3 Condenser Coil Cleaning
The condenser coil should be cleaned regularly (every 1-3 months, depending on environment) to ensure efficient operation. A dirty condenser coil can lead to increased energy consumption and potential compressor failure.
- Disconnect the unit from the power supply.
