Cleaning and maintenance

Unplug the refrigerator before starting to
clean it.
Never clean the refrigerator with
flammable fluids such as alcohol,
kerosene, gasoline, thinner, solvents or
chemical / abrasive products like
detergents, acids or vinegar. Cleaning
products such as powdered detergents,
abrasive cleansers, alkaline cleansers,
chemically treated cloths, solvents,
alcohol and even hot water should also
not be used to clean the refrigerator, as
they can damage the paint and the plastic
parts.
If you are not going to use the refrigerator
for an extended period of time, unplug it,
clean and dry the inside, and then close it
properly.
Do not clean the Refrigerator by throwing
water directly on it, neither on the outside,
nor on the inside.
Inside
Before cleaning, remember that humid
objects adhere easily to extremely cold
surfaces. For this reason, do not touch
these surfaces with damp cloths, objects
or hands. Clean the inside of the
refrigerator with a cloth dampened in a
solution of warm water and baking soda
(one spoonful of baking soda for each liter
of water). Never use metallic objects,
brushes, abrasive or alkaline products to
clean the plastic surfaces inside the
refrigerator. Plastic parts should not be
washed in hot water.
Electrical parts
Use a dry cloth to clean the electrical
parts to avoid short circuits.
Outside
Clean the outside of the refrigerator with
a damp cloth dipped in warm water and
mild soap.
Once every 6 months, clean the back of
the refrigerator with a vacuum cleaner or
a duster. The dust that accumulates
there interferes with proper functioning
of the condenser, and therefore of the
refrigerator, leading to higher energy
consumption. Disconnect the
refrigerator before cleaning and do not
touch the condenser or the compressor,
as they may be hot.
The drainage tray should be cleaned at
least once a year.
Water will enter the refrigerator if the
drainpipe becomes blocked; if this
happens, disassemble the light protector
and wash out the drain pipe.
Notes
After cleaning the refrigerator, check the following:
1. Check to be sure the power cord is not damaged.
2. Check to see if the plug is properly connected to the outlet.
3. Check to see if the grounding cable is installed.
4. Check to see if the drain is clogged.
