A. Cleaning
WARNING
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning to prevent electric shock by unexpected
entrance of water into the appliance or injury by moving parts. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do not touch the plug with damp hands.
• Before cleaning the appliance, move all foods into another clean refrigerator.
• Before cleaning the appliance, disconnect any cooking equipment on the appliance
top and allow to cool.
• Do not splash, pour, or spray water directly onto or into the appliance. This might
cause short circuit, electric shock, corrosion, or failure.
• Carefully follow instructions provided with cleaning and sanitizing products.
NOTICE
• To prevent damage to the plastic surfaces, do not use the following: hot water,
thinner, benzine, alcohol, petroleum, soap powder, polishing powder, alkaline
cleaner, acid, scouring pad and especially those strong cleaners for use on a
ventilating fan or a cooking range.
• To prevent corrosion and damage to stainless steel surfaces, use only products
formulated for use on stainless steel appliances. Do not use steel wool, abrasive
products, or products containing sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach).
• Use a clean cloth for cleaning.
1. Exterior
Wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean, soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing
a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt buildup. Clean any rust colored spots using a
non-abrasive cleanser.
2. Cabinet Interior
Spills should be wiped up promptly to avoid unpleasant odors. The cabinet interior should
be cleaned periodically with a mild soap or detergent and warm water.
