7. CLEANING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
WARNING
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the
refrigerator off at the
electric outlet
and
unplug the cord to prevent any chance
of electrocuting yourself.
Doors and exterior (white and silver):
You should only clean the doors with lukewarm
soapy water and a soft cloth.
CAUTION
Never use stainless steel cleaners,
abrasive pads or other cleaners that will
scratch the surface. Damage to the
appliance after delivery is not covered
by your warranty.
Interior
Clean the inside of your refrigerator regularly
with a soft cloth, unscented mild soap and
lukewarm water.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable
parts and avoid getting water on the controls.
Replace removable parts, plug power cord in
and switch the power on before returning the
food.
Water Tank Assembly
Clean the inside of the water tank regularly with
a soft cloth, unscented mild soap and rinse
thoroughly with lukewarm water to completely
remove any soap residue.
Door seals
Always keep door seals clean by washing them
with a mild detergent and warm water, followed
by a thorough drying.
Sticky food and drink can cause seals to stick
to the cabinet and tear when you open the
door.
CAUTION
Never use hot water, solvents,
commercial kitchen cleaners, aerosol
cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or
abrasive cleaners, or scourers to clean
your refrigerator. Many commercially
available cleaning products and
detergents contain solvents that will
damage your refrigerator. Use only a
soft cloth with an unscented mild soap
and lukewarm water.
To clean a crisper or freezer bin with
telescopic extension slides, simply wipe
with a damp cloth and warm soapy
water. Never immerse the cover in
water, as this could affect the operation
of the slide.
Switching off your refrigerator
If you switch off your refrigerator for an
extended period, follow these steps to reduce
the chances of mould:
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the
electric outlet.
3. Thoroughly clean and dry the Interior.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged
open slightly for air circulation.
