Cabinet Cleaning

cabinet clear of chlorine or chlorinated mixtures. Use non-abrasive cleaners that do not contain chlorine and a soft cloth
or sponge. Below are examples of what can be used.

Vinegar - Used to clean and polish stainless steel. Moisten soft cloth or sponge with undiluted white or cider vinegar

and wipe clean.

Baking Soda - Used for die-hard type stains. Mix in one tablespoon of baking soda per one pint of water for recommended
solution.

Club Soda - Used to remove streaks.

Lubrication
Unless otherwise specified, all Marvel Scientific refrigerators or freezers are equipped with oilless type motors. The motor-
compressor is a sealed unit and is constantly lubricated when in operation. The condenser and the evaporator motors are
equipped with lifetime oiled bearings which never need to be oiled.
