Notes for Cleaning
•
When removing a shelf or drawer from inside
the appliance, remove all stored foods from the
shelf or drawer to prevent injury or damage to
the appliance.
−
Otherwise, injury may occur due to the
weight of stored foods.
•
If cleaning the outside air vents of the
appliance by means of vacuuming, then the
power cord should be unplugged from the
outlet to avoid any static discharge that can
damage the electronics or cause an electric
shock.
•
Detach the shelves and drawers and clean
them with water, and then dry them sufficiently,
before replacing them.
•
Regularly wipe the door gaskets with a wet soft
towel.
•
Door basket spills and stains should be
cleaned as they can compromise storage
ability of the basket and could even be
damaged.

After cleaning, check if the power cable is
damaged, warm or improperly plugged.
•
Keep the air vents on the exterior of the
appliance clean.
−
Blocked air vents can cause fire or appliance

•
When cleaning the inside or outside of the
appliance, do not wipe it with a rough brush,
toothpaste, or flammable materials. Do not use
cleaning agents containing flammable
substances.

the appliance.

Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol,
methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol,
etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable

For the appliance exterior, use a clean sponge
or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm
water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
•
Never clean the shelves or containers in the
dishwasher.

The parts may become deformed due to the
heat.
