Cleaning the appliance
warning
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn appliance off at the power
point, then remove power cord from socket. This will
make sure there is no chance of getting an electric
shock.
• Doors and exterior – white
You should only clean the doors with luke-warm
soapy water and a soft cloth, rinsing with clean water
and then wipe the surface with clean water and a soft
clean cloth to remove soap residue.
• Doors and exterior – stainless steel
Your stainless steel appliance is manufactured from
a mark resistant stainless steel. This stainless steel
has a special advanced protective coating that eases
the removal of marks such as finger prints and water
spots. To keep your stainless steel appliance looking
at its best, you should clean it regularly. You should
only clean the stainless steel doors with luke-warm
soapy water and a soft cloth, rinsing with clean water
and then wipe the surface with clean water and a soft
clean cloth to remove soap residue.
It is important to wipe in the direction of the grain
of the stainless steel to avoid undue marking of the
surface.
caution
Do not use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or
other cleaners as they are likely to scratch the surface.

You should clean the appliance interior regularly.

switch the power on before re-stocking the appliance
with food. Naturally, you should keep the interior of

• Door seals
Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and
drink can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and
tear when you open the door. Wash seal with a mild
detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
caution
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen
cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or
abrasive cleaners, or scourers to clean this appliance, as
