Exterior cleaning
To maintain good appearance of your
appliance, clean it regularly. Wipe the display
panel with a clean, soft cloth. Spray water onto
the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly
on the surface of the appliance. This helps
ensure an even distribution of moisture to the
surface. The doors, handles and cabinet
surfaces should be cleaned with a mild
detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.

chemicals for cleaning. They may damage the
surface of the appliance and can create a risk

will occasionally occur on the freezer's
interior. This is normal and will clear after a
few days.

food and drink can cause seals to stick to
the cabinet and tear when you open the
door. Wash seal with a mild detergent and
warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly
after cleaning.
Caution!
Don't use sharp objects to remove
frost from the freezer compartment.
