Cleaning the refrigerator

BEFORE  CLEANING:-  REMOVE  THE  POWER 
CORD  FROM  THE  POWER  SOCKET.  THIS 
WILL MAKE SURE THERE IS NO CHANCE OF 
GETTING AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Exterior

Cabinet

It is a good idea to polish the cabinet at least once a year, 
using  a  high  grade  wax  like  the  one  you  use  on  your  car. 
After that, an occasional wipe over with a clean, damp cloth 
will help remove finger marks.

NOTE: Do not wax plastic parts or decorative trim.Wash these 
in warm (not hot) water using an unscented detergent.

Doors - painted

Clean as described above for the cabinet.

Doors - stainless steel

Your stainless steel appliance is manufactured from a mark 
resistant  stainless  steel.  This  stainless  steel  has  a  special 
advanced  protective  coating  that  eases  the  removal  of 
marks  such as finger prints and water spots. To keep your 
stainless  steel  refrigerator  looking  at  its  best,  you  should 
clean it regularly. You should only clean the stainless steel 
doors with luke-warm soapy water and a soft cloth, rinsing 
with clean water and then wipe the surface with clean water 
and a soft clean cloth to remove soap residue. 

It  is  important  to  wipe  in  the  direction  of  the  grain  of  the 
stainless steel to avoid undue marking of the surface.

DO NOT USE STAINLESS STEEL CLEANERS, 
ABRASIVE  PADS  OR  OTHER  CLEANERS 
AS  THEY  ARE  LIKELY  TO  SCRATCH  THE 
SURFACE.  DAMAGE  TO  THIS  PRODUCT 
AFTER  DELIVERY  IS  NOT  COVERED  BY 
YOUR WARRANTY

Interior

You should clean the refrigerator interior regularly. It will be 
easiest to clean when the food supply is low.Wash the interior 
with a soft cloth and use an unscented mild soap with luke-
warm water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts. 
Avoid getting water on refrigerator controls. If you have taken 
out any removable parts, replace them and switch the power 
on  before  re-stocking  the  refrigerator  with  food.  Naturally, 
you should keep the interior of your refrigerator hygienic by 
promptly and thoroughly wiping up any food spills.

Keep the door seals clean

Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drink 
can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you 
open  the  door.Wash  seal  with  a  mild  detergent  and  warm 

water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. 

WARNING:- Never use hot water, solvents, commercial 
kitchen  cleaners,  aerosol  cleaners,  metal  polishes, 
caustic  or  abrasive  cleaners,  or  scourers  to  clean  this 
appliance,  as  they  will  damage  it.  Many  commercially 
available  cleaning  products  and  detergents  contain 
solvents  that  will  damage  your  refrigerator.  When 
cleaning,  use  only  a  soft  cloth  with  an  unscented  mild 
soap and luke warm water.

It is important to use your refrigerator safely. This means you 
need to supervise young children and infirm persons when 
they use it. You need to make sure that young children do 
not play with the refrigerator. Follow the tips below.

• Check the power point is properly grounded - if you are 
not sure get an electrician to check it.
• Switch off the refrigerator at the power point before you 
clean or move it.
