General Cleaning Tips
• Performing manual defrosting,
maintenance or cleaning of the
appliance while food is stored in the
freezer can raise the temperature of
the food and reduce its storage life.
• Regularly clean any surfaces that can
come in contact with food.
• 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
discolouration or damage to the
appliance.
- Flammable substances: alcohol
(ethanol, methanol, isopropyl
alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, etc.),
thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable
liquid, abrasive, etc.
• After cleaning, check if the power cable
is damaged.
Cleaning the Exterior
• When 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. Regular cleaning of the rear and
side ventilation covers is
recommended to maintain reliable
and economical operation of the unit.
MAINTENANCE
• Keep the air vents on the exterior of
the appliance clean. Blocked air vents
can cause fire or appliance damage.
• 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. Do not
use contaminated cloths when
cleaning the stainless steel doors.
Always use a dedicated cloth and wipe
in the same direction as the grain. This
helps reduce surface staining and
tarnishing.
Cleaning the Interior
• 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.
• 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.
• Never clean the shelves or containers
in the dishwasher. The parts may
become deformed due to the heat.
