A. Cleaning
WARNING
• Before cleaning the appliance, move the power switch to the "OFF" position and
unplug the appliance 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 power switch or plug with damp hands.
• Before cleaning the appliance, move all foods into another clean refrigerator or
freezer.
