CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Switch off the electrical supply and remove the plug from the mains socket
before cleaning.
Interior
Note: The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
1. Remove all food from the appliance and cover to help keep cool.
2. Remove all the shelves and salad crisper carefully from the appliance and
wash in warm clean water with a soft cloth and dry thoroughly. Never
replace the shelves or salad crisper into the appliance if wet.
3. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two
tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Rinse with water and
wipe clean.
4. For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow
sandwiches, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with
a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary
tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminant accumulation in these
areas.
5. Open the door and allow the interior to dry naturally before replacing the
shelves and salad crisper.
6. Plug in and switch on and allow the temperature in the appliance to drop
back to an adequate temperature.
7. Replace the food in the appliance.
Important: Avoid getting water into the electric components of the appliance
i.e. the thermostat, as this may damage your appliance.
Exterior
• Use a clean, soft cloth dampened in soapy water to wipe the exterior surface
of the appliance and dry thoroughly.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from underneath the appliance and
from around the compressor which is situated at the back of the appliance,
regularly to maintain adequate ventilation. Use caution not to damage the
coolant system.
Important: Do not use abrasive cloths, powders, household cleaners, bleach or
wax polish to clean the appliance as these can leave a smell in the appliance and
can damage the exterior.
