Cleaning and maintenance
Conduct periodic cleaning and maintenance to ensure that the refrigerator will be kept clean and that it will continue to operate for a long time to
come.
WARNING
Before cleaning or conducting maintenance, be absolutely sure to disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. Do not
connect or disconnect the power plug with wet hands. Doing so may result in an electric shock or injury.
CAUTION
Do not use the following items for cleaning:
●
Alkaline cleaning agents (these may dissolve the plastic parts)
●
Abrasive cleaners, soap powders, very hot or boiling water, brushes, acids, benzene, paint thinners, alcohol, etc. (these may
mar the surfaces, paint and plastic parts)
Cleaning
Wipe off easily removable dirt using a cloth dipped in lukewarm water.
Wipe off stubborn dirt using a cloth dipped in some diluted neutral detergent used in the kitchen.
Then take up the remaining detergent using a cloth dipped in lukewarm water.
To complete the cleaning, be absolutely sure to wipe the surfaces dry to take up the remaining moisture.
Do not use cleaning agents (containing abrasive cleaners, or chemical mixture), and wipe off food stains, seasoning or dirt on the door as soon
as possible.
Interior, drawers, glass shelves and door shelves
Be absolutely sure to wipe off edible oils, butter and other types of fats and oils on the plastic parts.
Otherwise, the plastic parts may be damaged. The drawers, glass shelves and door shelves can be removed. If they are very dirty or
smelly, remove and wash them.
Door opening seal
A dirty or damaged seal will allow the cold air inside to escape.
As soon as the seal becomes dirty, wipe off the dirt immediately.
Icebox
If the icebox contains old ice or ice cubes clumped together, remove it, and throw out
the ice.
Ice/Water dispenser
The drain plate and water tray can be removed. At periodic intervals, throw out the water which has collected in the water tray.
Exterior of refrigerator
If the exterior becomes dirty, wipe off the dirt. Also, allowing dust to accumulate on the power plug can cause a fire. At periodic intervals,
remove the dust using a dry cloth, etc.
Control panel and Ice/Water dispenser panel
Wipe these panels using a soft cloth which has been dipped in lukewarm water and then wrung out.
The control panel and Ice/Water dispenser panel are made from delicate materials.
As such, take care not to damage their surfaces.
Note:
●
Do not wash the drawers, glass shelves, door shelves, or other parts in a dishwasher. Doing so will cause the gilt on the parts or their plating
to peel off or the parts to be damaged.
