Safety: Unplug the unit and remove all bottles before cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that can leave odors.

• Deep clean interior: Wash all interior surfaces, shelves, and racks with a solution of mild detergent and warm water, followed by a rinse with a mixture of water and baking soda.
• Clean drain and drip tray: Clear the defrost drain and clean the drip tray with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Dry out cabinet: Leave the door open for several hours with the unit unplugged to allow complete drying.
• Odor absorbers: Place an open box of baking soda or a charcoal odor absorber inside the cooler when restarting.
• Prevent recurrence: Wipe up spills immediately and periodically clean the interior and drain system.
