Unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
Remove all food and store in a cool place (e.g., a cooler).
Take out all removable parts (drawers, shelves, door bins).
Wash interior with a solution of warm water and mild dish soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Wipe the door gasket clean to ensure a proper seal.
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For stainless steel models, use a dedicated cleaner.
Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling and reconnecting power.

CAUTION! Never use steam cleaners, sharp objects, or chemical solvents.

Ensure the door seal is clean and intact. Test by closing the door on a piece of paper; it should be held firmly.
Open the door as infrequently and for as short a time as possible.
Ensure the appliance is not placed next to a heat source.
Allow hot food to cool completely before placing inside.
Keep the condenser coils on the back clean and dust-free (unplug first).
Check that the temperature is not set colder than required (0°F / -18°C is optimal).
