9. GENERAL INFORMATION

9.1 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.
CAUTION
Never use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive
pads or other cleaners that will scratch the sur-
face. Damage to the appliance after d elivery 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 pol-
ishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners, or scourers
to clean your refrigerator. Many commercially
available cleaning products and detergents
contain solvents that will damage your refrig-
erator. Use only a soft cloth with an unscent-
ed mild soap and lukewarm water.
CAUTION
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 opera-
tion of the slide.
Switching off your refrigerator
If you switch off your refrigerator for an extend-
ed period, follow these steps to reduce the
chances of mould.
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the power
point.
3. Thoroughly clean and dry the Interior.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open
slightly for air circulation.
