Product Disposal

If the unit is being removed from service for disposal,
check and obey all Federal, State and/or Local regulations
regarding the disposal and recycling of refrigeration
appliances, and follow these steps completely:

1. Disconnect power to the unit and unplug the power

cord from its outlet.

2. Shut off water supply to the unit at the main water

source and disconnect the supply line to the unit’s water
valve.

DANGER

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPEMENT. Before you throw
away your old refrigerator or freezer, take off the
doors and leave shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.

3. Remove the cabinet door if equipped and secure all

interior shelves to the interior of the cabinet using a
heavy duty cloth or package sealing tape.

General Cleaning

Exterior Cleaning (As Required)

Black and White Models:

• Surfaces may be cleaned with a mild detergent and

warm water solution. Do not use solvent-based or
abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with
clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent
water spotting.

Stainless Steel Models:

• Stainless steel surfaces and components can discolor

when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt
water or cleaners with bleach.

• Keep your stainless steel unit looking new by cleaning

with a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/
polish on a monthly basis. For best results use Claire

®

Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be
purchased from U-Line Corporation (P/N 173348).
Comparable products are acceptable. Frequent
cleaning will remove surface contamination that could
lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning
on a weekly basis.

• Do not clean with steel wool pads.

• Do not use cleaners that are not specifically

intended for stainless steel on stainless steel
surfaces (this includes glass, tile and counter
cleaners).

• If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it

quickly with Bon-Ami

®

or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser

®

and a non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction
of the grain. Always finish this process with Claire
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable
product to prevent further problems.

• Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite™ will

cause the graining in the stainless steel to
become blurred.

• Rust that is not cleaned up promptly can penetrate into

the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal
of the rust may not be possible.

Interior Cleaning (As Required)

• Disconnect power to the unit. Clean the interior and all

removed components using a mild non-abrasive
detergent and warm water solution applied with a soft
sponge or non-abrasive cloth. Rinse the interior using a
soft sponge and clean water.

• Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive

cleaners. These types of cleaners may transmit
taste to the interior products and damage or
discolor the interior.
