Safety: Unplug the unit before deep cleaning. Use non-abrasive cleaners safe for food-contact surfaces.

Steps:

• 1. Empty and clean interior: Remove all bottles and shelves. Wash interior surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and warm water, then rinse and dry.
• 2. Clean drain and pan: Clear the defrost drain and clean the external drain pan above the compressor.
• 3. Improve ventilation: Allow the door to remain open for several hours after cleaning to fully dry the interior.

Prevention: Wipe up spills promptly and avoid leaving the door open for extended periods.
