MAINTENANCE

Notes for Cleaning

• When removing a shelf or drawer from inside
the appliance, remove all stored foods from the
shelf or drawer to prevent injury or damage to
the appliance.
− Otherwise, injury may occur due to the
weight of stored foods.
• If cleaning the outside air vents of the
appliance by means of vacuuming, then the
power cord should be unplugged from the
outlet to avoid any static discharge that can
damage the electronics or cause an electric
shock.
• Detach the shelves and drawers and clean
them with water, and then dry them sufficiently,
before replacing them.
• Regularly wipe the door gaskets with a wet soft
towel.
• Door basket spills and stains should be
cleaned as they can compromise storage
ability of the basket and could even be
damaged.
• After cleaning, check if the power cable is
damaged, warm or improperly plugged.
• Keep the air vents on the exterior of the
appliance clean.
− Blocked air vents can cause fire or appliance
damage.
• Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps
provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic
parts. Wax painted metal surfaces at least
twice a year using appliance wax (or auto
paste wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.
• When cleaning the inside or outside of the
appliance, do not wipe it with a rough brush,
toothpaste, or flammable materials. Do not use
cleaning agents containing flammable
substances.
− This may cause discoloration or damage to
the appliance.
− Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol,
methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol,
etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable
liquid, abrasive, etc.
• For the appliance exterior, use a clean sponge
or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm
water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• Never clean the shelves or containers in the
dishwasher.
− The parts may become deformed due to the
heat.
• If the appliance is equipped with an LED lamp,
do not remove lamp cover and LED lamp in
any attempt to repair or service it.
Please, contact the LG Electronics customer
information centre.
Containers and Bins
• Containers and bins can easily become dirty
from spilled food. Remove them occasionally
and rinse them out to avoid odors.
See page 36 for instructions on removing the
middle and bottom drawers for cleaning.
• Shelves can become dirty from spilled food.
Remove them occasionally and clean with a
wet cloth. To remove the shelf, lift it at the back
and pull it forward.
• Before cleaning the container lids, remove the
rubber packing from inside the lid. Remember
to replace the rubber packing once the lids are
clean.
Do not clean the containers and lids in water
hotter than 50 °C.
Gently clean the containers with a soft sponge
to avoid scratching the surface.
