important Note: Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents that
may attack the plastic components of your freezer and cause them to crack, It is important
to use only warm water and a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent on any'
plastic components inside and outside your freezer, Avoid using anti-bacterial cleaning
products on either the interior or exterior of the cabinet as they may cause rusting of metal
components and cracking of plastic components.
