should be cleaned regularly at least
every two months.

Exterior cleaning
To maintain good appearance of your
appliance, you should clean it
regularly.
-Wipe the digital panel and display
panel with a clean, soft cloth.
-Spray water onto the cleaning cloth
instead of spraying directly on the
surface of the appliance. This helps
ensure an even distribution of moisture
to the surface.
-Clean the doors, handles and cabinet
surfaces with a mild detergent and
then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Caution!
Don't use sharp objects as they
are likely to scratch the surface. Don't use
Thinner, Car detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil,
abrasive cleansers or organic solvent such
as Benzene for cleaning. They may
damage the surface of the appliance and
may cause fire.
Interior cleaning
You should clean the appliance interior
regularly. It will be easier to clean
when food stocks are low. Wipe the
inside of the fridge freezer with a weak
solution of bicarbonate of soda, and
then rinse with warm water using a
wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe
completely dry before replacing the
shelves and baskets.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and
removable parts.
Although this appliance automatically
defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on
the freezer compartment's interior walls
if the freezer door is opened frequently
or kept open too long. If the frost is too
thick, choose a time when the supply of
food stocks are low and proceed as
follows:1.Remove existing food and
accessories baskets, unplug the
appliance from the mains power and
leave the doors open. Ventilate the
room thoroughly to accelerate the
thawing process.2. When defrosting is
completed, clean your freezer as
described above.
Caution!
Don't use sharp objects to
remove frost from the freezer compartment.
Only after the interior is completely dry
should the appliance be switched back on
and plugged back into the mains socket.
Door seals cleaning
Take care to keep door seals clean.
Sticky food and drinks 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
and dry it thoroughly after cleaning.
Caution! Only after the door seals are
completely dry should the appliance be
powered on.
