door seals are in good alignment with the
refrigerator casing throughout. If this is not the
case, the rubber seal can easily be pulled off,
turned 180° and then pressed back into
the rebate.
12. Checking and cleaning the rubber seals
a. Method 1: Clamp a thin piece of paper in
various places. The paper should be difficult to pull out in all
these places.
b. Method 2: Place a torch on a shelf inside the appliance and aim the
light at the seal; close the door and see if you can see any light.
If the seal is uneven, heat the seal rubber in the affected areas with a
hairdryer and shape them with your fingers.
Keep the door seals clean. Sticky food and drink can make the seals stick to
the cabinet and then tear when you open the door. Clean the seal with a mild
detergent and warm water. After cleaning, rinse well and dry. Caution! Do
not switch on the appliance until the door seals are completely dry.
