adequately trained service technician or qualified
electrician.
Cleaning
• Many commercially available cleaning products
contain solvents that may attack the plastic
components of your refrigerator and cause them
to crack.
• Avoid using anti-bacterial cleaning products on
either the interior or exterior of the cabinet as they
may cause rusting of metal components and cracking
of plastic components.
• Please refer to the ‘Cleaning and caring for your
refrigerator’ section of this user guide for further
information.
Disposal

old appliance to avoid hazards:

contains flammable insulation blowing gases, any
exposed foam may be highly flammable and must
be carefully treated during disposal.
