CLEANING
5.1
Defrosting
Frost may accumulate on the inner rear surface of the appliance, which will automatically defrost
during compressor cycle. Water is channeled via the drain hole to the collection tray above the
compressor where it will evaporate.
Please ensure the drain hole is checked and cleaned on a regular basis so water can exit the
storage compartment.
Do not use Mechanical Devices to Defrost refrigerator.

Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
•
Remove shelves and the salad bin.
•
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then wipe
clean with a “wrung-out” sponge or clothe of warm water. Wipe completely dry before
replacing the shelves and salad bin.
•
Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior and finish with a standard furniture polish. Make
sure the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the door seal or inside the unit.

vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
