CLEANING tHE AppLIANCE

WARNING

Before cleaning: Turn appliance off at the power point, then 

remove power cord from socket . This will make sure there is 

no chance of getting an electric shock .

•  Doors – stainless steel

 

 This stainless steel has a special advanced protective 

coating that eases the removal of marks such as 

finger prints and water spots . To keep your stainless 

steel appliance looking at its best, you should clean it 

regularly . You should only clean the stainless steel doors 

with luke-warm soapy water and a soft cloth, rinsing 

with clean water and then wipe the surface with clean 

water and a soft clean cloth to remove soap residue .

•  Doors - cabinet & painted doors 

   An occasional wipe over with a clean, damp cloth will 

help remove finger marks . You should only clean the 

doors with lukewarm, soapy water and a soft cloth . 

Rinse with clean water and then wipe the surface with a 

soft, clean cloth to remove any soapy residue .

Note:

 

only wash plastic parts or decorative trim with 

warm (not hot) water using an unscented detergent.

CAUTION

Do not use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads  or other 

cleaners as they are likely to scratch the surface . Damage to 

this product after delivery is not covered by your warranty .

•  Interior

   You should clean the appliance interior regularly . It will 

be easiest to clean when the food supply is low . Wash 

the interior with a soft cloth and use an unscented mild 

soap with lukewarm water . Thoroughly dry all surfaces 

and removable parts . Avoid getting water on appliance 

controls . If you have taken out any removable parts, 

replace them and switch the power on before re-

stocking the appliance with food . Naturally, you should 

keep the interior of your appliance hygienic by promptly 

and thoroughly wiping up any food spills .

   Do not use a steam cleaner . If live components come 

into contact with condensing steam, they may short-

circuit or cause an electric shock .

•  Door seals

   Take care to keep door seals clean . Sticky food and 

drink can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear 

when you open the door . Wash seal with a mild 

detergent and warm water . Rinse thoroughly and dry . 

CAUTION

Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners, 

aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive 

cleaners, or scourers to clean this appliance, as they will 

damage it. Many commercially available cleaning products 

and detergents contain solvents that will damage your 

refrigerator . When cleaning, use only a soft cloth with  

an unscented mild soap and lukewarm water .
