What are recommended best practices for daily use?
Position adjustable shelf to allow circulation, place a calibrated min/max thermometer or data-logger on a mid-shelf, label stored items clearly, record start-of-day temperatures per protocol, keep door-open duration minimal, and ensure shelving is not over-packed.
What regular maintenance should be performed?
Check door gasket annually for seal integrity, vacuum or clean condenser area 2-3 times per year, verify thermostat accuracy and lock function, remove dust from vents, and keep the unit level and clear of obstruction for optimum performance.
