Cleaning the door seals

If a door seal is damaged or if it
has come out of the groove, the door
will not close properly and cooling
performance will be reduced.
Condensate will build up in the
interior and this can cause a build-up
of ice.
Do not damage the door seals and
ensure that they do not come out of
their groove.
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seals as these will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become
porous over time.

The door seals should be cleaned
regularly with clean water, and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
