EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not use flammable cleaners. Not following these
instructions can cause death, explosion or fire.
The refrigerator, as well as the freezer, do their own
de-freezing. This process does not prevent the build
up of contaminants, therefore it is suggested that you
clean both parts once a month; clean spilled liquids
immediately.

REFRIGERATOR CLEANING

Unplug your refrigerator.
Pull out all of the removable parts (such as the
vegetable and dairy doors).
Use a clean sponge (or a soft rag) and use it with
lukewarm water mixed with detergent. Do not use
abrasive or concentrated cleaners.
Hand wash it, and dry it thoroughly.
Plug the refrigerator back in.

OUTSIDE

Wax the outside in order to create better protection. Make
sure you use a product specifically design to be used
for electro-domestic products (car wax is acceptable).
Use a clean, soft rag, and perform this task twice a year.
For metal-made refrigerators, do not wax, simply clean
it with water and detergent. Do not use concentrated or
abrasive products.
In case of STS, apply cleaner in same direction that hair
line of STS.
NOTE: Avoid the usage of chemical products that
contain phosphates or bleach.
INSIDE (Allow freezer to slightly warm up a small
degree to prevent cloth from sticking)
In order to eliminate bad odors, clean the inside of
the refrigerator with a mixture of baking powder and
lukewarm water (one teaspoon of baking powder per cup
of water). Ensure that the powder dissolves thoroughly, in
order to prevent any sort of damage.
DOOR LINING AND GASKETS
Use only a mild detergent (such as dish soap).
PLASTIC PARTS (Covers and Panels)
Do not use abrasive, paper or rough products. These
could damage the product.

REFRIGERATOR CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING
NOTE: Back Cover should only be
removed by a qualified technician.
In order to get an efficient
performance of your refrigerator,
clean the back cover of it at least
twice a year.

REPLACING REFRIGERATOR LIGHTS

The refrigerator and freezer compartment lights
are LED interior lighting, and service should
be performed by a qualified technician.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, either unplug
the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker
or fuse box.
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
1. In case of a black out, call your electric company and
ask how long it will last.
2. In case of a 24 hour or less black out, do not open the
refrigerator; this will keep the food fresh.
3. In case of a longer black out, do one of the following
options:
Pull out all of the frozen food and keep them in an ice
chest.
Put 2 lbs (907 g) of frozen ice (make sure you use
gloves) for each square foot (28 L) inside the freezer.
This task will preserve the food from 2 to 4 days.
In case you do not possess neither ice chest or dry ice,
consume your food as soon as possible.
REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold
longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat
stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If
you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be safely
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected.
If the condition of the food is poor or if you feel it unsafe,
dispose of it.

WHEN GOING ON VACATION

If you decide to leave your refrigerator on when going
away, consider these steps:
1. Consume all of the perishable items and freeze the
rest.
2. Empty the ice bin.
If you decide to leave your refrigerator off:
1. Remove all of the food.
2. Unplug your refrigerator.
3. Clean and dry it well.
4. Make sure the doors stay open (use blocks or tape) in
order to prevent bad odors and fungi from happening.
