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.
WARNING
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 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.
WARNING
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.
