• Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
• Clean the door gasket regularly to ensure a proper seal.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as they can damage surfaces.

5. Plug the unit back in and return food items after the refrigerator has cooled down.

Power Interruptions / Vacation

• For short power interruptions, keep the door closed to maintain temperature.
• For extended absences, unplug the unit, remove all food, clean and dry the interior, and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odors and mold growth.
