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 & pacific 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.
WARNING
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.
• 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

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

lukewarm water.
If your refrigerator has telescopic extension slides, simply wipe
them with a damp cloth to clean them and never immerse them
in water.
