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
• The outside air vents and rear lower cover
should be cleaned periodically to remove dust
build up. Failure to do so could cause the
appliance to lose its cooling ability and cause the
compressor to overheat and malfunction
resulting in food loss.
• When cleaning the side vents and rear lower
cover by vacuuming, then the power cord must
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 also necessary
to maintain reliable and economical operation of
the unit.
• Failure to keep the air vents on the exterior of
the appliance clean can also cause overheating,
appliance damage or property damage if the
defrosted water cannot evaporate from the rear
drain pan.
• 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 dedicated 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.
• The automatic defrosting system in the
appliance ensures that the compartment
remains free of ice buildup under normal
operating conditions. Users do not need to
defrost it manually.
Cleaning the Condenser Cover
Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush to clean the
condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the
panel covering the condenser coil area.
We strongly recommend that this be done every 12
months to maintain operating efficiency. Failing to
