CARE & CLEANING
• The service life of your product will extend and frequently encountered problems will
decrease if the product is cleaned periodically.
• Never use gasoline, benzene, or similar substances for cleaning purposes.
• Never use any sharp abrasive instruments, soap, household cleaners, detergent, or wax
polish for cleaning.
• The best cleaning option is to dissolve one teaspoon of baking soda in half liter of water.
Soak a cloth in the solution and wring it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the refrigerator
with this cloth and then dry thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water contacts the light fixtures or other electrical parts.
• If you plan to not use the refrigerator for a long time, unplug it, remove all food inside,
clean it, and leave the door ajar.
• Check regularly that the door gaskets are clean. If not, clean them.
• Take out all items inside the unit before removing the door and shelves for cleaning.
• Remove the door shelves by pulling them up. Slide the shelves downward to re-install
them after cleaning. Refer to pages 18-21 for directions on how to remove/install shelves
and drawers.
• Never use chloric cleaning agents or water to clean outer surfaces or chrome-coated
parts of the product. Chlorine causes abrasion on such metal surfaces.
AVOIDING BAD ODORS
• Your appliance is equipped with a permanent odor filter installed in the back of the inside
of the main refrigerator compartment that helps to eliminate food-related odors. However,
odors may still emit if foods are stored improperly or if the interior of the product is not
cleaned as required. Please consider the following to avoid this problem:
• It is important that the refrigerator is kept clean.
• Food residuals, stains, etc., can cause odor. For this reason, clean your
refrigerator with the baking soda solution outlined above every 15 days.
Never use detergents or soap.
• Keep your foods in closed containers. Microorganisms emitted from containers
without a cover may cause unpleasant odors.
• Never keep expired or spoiled foods in your refrigerator.
