CLEANING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

WARNING
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the refrigerator off at the
power point 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.
Stainless Steel:
Your stainless steel refrigerator is manufactured
from mark-resistant stainless steel. This stainless
steel has a special advanced protective coating
that eases the removal of marks such as
fingerprints and water spots. To keep its
appearance, clean it regularly 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.
Ice and water
Clean the components of the ice maker /water
dispenser regularly with a soft cloth, unscented mild
soap and rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water.
For further information on the care and cleaning of your
Icemaker, Ice dispenser of water dispenser refer to the
section "Ice and Water Models"
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.
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.

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.
