cleaning & maintenance
7
Before cleaning the appliance, always unplug the appliance.
Clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm water and a neutral detergent to prevent any bad smells occurring. After cleaning,
rinse the interior with clean water and rub dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. Simply remove the shelves, drawer and
door compartments to clean them by hand. Do not clean the interior accessories in the dishwasher.
Clean the outside of the appliance and the gasket with a soft moist cloth.
For areas that are difficult to clean in the appliance, such as narrow gaps or corners, it is recommended to wipe them regularly with
a soft rag, soft brush, etc. When necessary use some auxiliary tools, such as thin sticks (tooth picks), to ensure no contamination
can accumulate in these areas.
We recommend that you dust the back of the appliance and on the floor with a cloth or vacuum cleaner once a year in order to
maintain a good output and low energy consumption.
Do not use hard brushes, cleaning steel wire balls, wire brushes, abrasives, such as toothpastes, organic solvents (such as alcohol,
acetone, oils, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items to clean the refrigerator considering that this may damage the fridge
surface and interior. Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
