- Condensers should be chemically cleaned 3 to 4 times per year.
- Door and Drawer gaskets should be washed with warm soapy water weekly for sanitary reasons and to prevent pre-mature damage and failure.
- Hinges and all hardware should be adjusted and tightened as needed to prevent permanent damage.

- Freezers have a defrost cycle so wait for at least an hour to see if they recover to the correct temperature.
