Cleaning

General Cleaning Tips

•  Performing manual defrosting, maintenance or 

cleaning of the appliance while food is stored in 

the freezer can raise the temperature of the food 

and reduce its storage life.

•  Regularly clean any surfaces that can come in 

contact with food.

•  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. This may cause discolouration or 

damage to the appliance.
-  Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol, 

methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, 

etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable 

liquid, abrasive, etc.

•  After cleaning, check if the power cable is 

damaged.

Cleaning the Exterior

•  When 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. 

Regular cleaning of the rear and side ventilation 

covers is recommended to maintain reliable and 

economical operation of the unit.

•  Keep the air vents on the exterior of the 

appliance clean. Blocked air vents can cause fire 

or appliance damage.

•  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. Do not use 

contaminated cloths when cleaning the stainless 

steel doors. Always use a dedicated cloth and 

wipe in the same direction as the grain. This 

helps reduce surface staining and tarnishing.

Cleaning the Interior

•  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.

•  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.

•  Never clean the shelves or containers in the 

dishwasher. The parts may become deformed 

due to the heat.
