5. Care and Maintenance

  

 

Cleaning your Whirlpool Refrigerator 
 

 

Before cleaning, always switch-off the power supply and remove the plug from the 

socket. 

  Remove all food items from the refrigerator.

 

  Do not remove all the shelves at the same time to prevent children from easily climbing 

inside.    The same care should be followed when going on vacation. 

  To remove refrigerator shelves, gently push the rear of the shelf upwards and then pull out. 

  Remove the refrigerator and the freezer door bins by pushing upwards and pulling out. 

  Hold the vegetable crisper using the handle, raise the front slightly and pull out. 

  Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean the refrigerator thoroughly.    Take care not to 

damage the door seals. 

  Allow the refrigerator time to dry, by leaving the door open for some time.   

  Dry the parts and place them back in the refrigerator. 

  Plug the power cord in and switch the mains on.    Allow the refrigerator time to cool before 

placing food inside. 

  Keep the surrounding area around the appliance clean to prevent cockroaches or other 

insects from entering the appliance.    Damage caused by cockroaches or other insects 

will not be covered by the Warranty. 

 

Caution 

  Do not splash water directly on the refrigerator. 

  Do not work with flammable sprays or solvent based cleaners.    The fumes could cause 

fires or explosions. 

  Be sure to check the voltage before inserting the power supply cord into the socket. 

  Be sure not to re-insert the power supply socket within 5 minutes of removing it from the 

socket. 

  Ensure that water does not get into the light bulb socket or other electrical components of 

your refrigerator. 

  Do not allow water to collect at the bottom of the refrigerator. 

  Do not store volatile chemicals such as ether and benzene in the refrigerator.    The fumes, 

besides damaging food, can build up and cause an explosion. 

 

Going on vacation 

Short vacation

 

During an average short length vacation, it is usually best to leave the refrigerator and freezer 
in regular operation. 

Long vacation 

For a vacation of extended duration, perform the following steps: 

 

Remove all food items from the refrigerator and freezer.

 

 

Switch-off the mains and disconnect the power cord from the socket.

 

 

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the refrigerator clean from the inside and outside.

 

 

Leave both doors open to prevent odours.

 

 

Do not allow children to play or hide inside the appliance due to the risk of them becoming 

trapped and suffocating.
