Hints and suggestions
01. Do not let fats of any kind come into contact with the plastic parts of the
refrigerator. Under no circumstances should you lubricate the refrigerator.
02. Glass and plastic bottles and metallic containers should not be placed in
the freezer compartment, unless so recommended by the manufacturer on
the product packaging.
03. Foods and liquids should not be stored in open containers in the
refrigerator. Carbonated beverages should not be frozen.
04. To freeze fresh foods, use the upper compartment (freezer). Package the
foods properly before freezing. Avoid storing fresh food next to food that
has already been frozen.
05. If there are any problems with the refrigerator, transfer all the food to a
different refrigerator.
06. Excessively heavy, pointy or corrosive objects should not be placed on top
of the refrigerator.
07. The refrigerator doors should only be opened when strictly necessary
during a power outage.
08. Do not touch the food or containers inside the refrigerator with wet hands,
to keep them from freezing.
09. Do not store bottled or canned food, since they expand when they freeze;
this can cause the container to burst.
10. Do not overfill the refrigerator with food, as this may block the circulation of
air and increase energy consumption.
11. Use hermetically sealed recipients and plastic bags to keep food from
drying out, and to keep odors from mixing together.
12. Clean the food, bottles and containers before storing them in the
refrigerator. If necessary, dry them off first.
13. Do not place food inside the temperature sensor or along the rear inside
wall of the refrigerator.
14. Radishes, bananas, pumpkins, onions and canned foods do not need to be
refrigerated.
Care & cleaning
Unplug the refrigerator before starting to clean it.
Never clean the refrigerator with flammable fluids such as alcohol, kerosene,
gasoline, thinner, solvents or chemical / abrasive products like detergents,
acids or vinegar. Cleaning products such as powdered detergents, abrasive
cleansers, alkaline cleansers, chemically treated cloths, solvents, alcohol and
even hot water should also not be used to clean the refrigerator, as they can
damage the paint and the plastic parts.
If you are not going to use the refrigerator for an extended period of time,
unplug it, clean and dry the inside, and then close it properly.
Do not clean the Refrigerator by throwing water directly on it, neither on the
outside, nor on the inside.
Inside
Before cleaning, remember that
humid objects adhere easily to
extremely cold surfaces. For this
reason, do not touch these
surfaces with damp cloths, objects
or hands. Clean the inside of the
refrigerator with a cloth dampened
in a solution of warm water and
baking soda (one spoonful of
baking soda for each liter of water).
Never use metallic objects,
brushes, abrasive or alkaline
products to clean the plastic
surfaces inside the refrigerator.
Plastic parts should not be washed
in hot water.
Electrical parts
Use a dry cloth to clean the electrical
parts to avoid short circuits.
Outside
Clean the outside of the refrigerator
with a damp cloth dipped in warm
water and mild soap.
Once every 6 months, clean the
back of the refrigerator with a
vacuum cleaner or a duster. The
dust that accumulates there
interferes with proper functioning of
the condenser, and therefore of the
refrigerator, leading to higher energy
consumption. Disconnect the
refrigerator before cleaning and do
not touch the condenser or the
compressor, as they may be hot.
The drainage tray should be
cleaned at least once a year.
Water will enter the refrigerator if
the drainpipe becomes blocked; if
this happens, disassemble the light
protector and wash out the drain
pipe
