MAINTENANCE

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

damage.

•

Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps

provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic

parts. Wax painted metal surfaces at least

twice a year using appliance wax (or auto

paste wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.

•

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.

•

If the appliance is equipped with an LED

lamp, do not remove lamp cover and LED

lamp in any attempt to repair or service it.

Please, contact an LG Electronics customer

information centre.
