7.1 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.
Stainless Steel Look:
Your stainless steel look 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 surface. 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
polishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners, or
scourers to clean your refrigerator. Many
commercially available cleaning products and
detergents contain solvents that will damage
your refrigerator. Use only a soft cloth with an
unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.

telescopic extension slides, simply wipe
with a damp cloth and warm soapy
water. Never immerse the cover in
water, as this could affect the operation
of the slide.
