Cleaning care – interior/exterior
Interior
■
■
It is important to keep the interior of the refrigerator and freezer clean to help prevent food from
becoming contaminated during storage.
■
■
The amount and types of food stored determines how often cleaning should be carried out
(ideally once every 1 to 2 weeks) in the refrigerator.
■
■
Remove the shelves, door shelves and bins and rinse these parts in a mixture of warm water and
liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse and dry the shelves and bins thoroughly before replacing
them into the refrigerator.
■
■
Wipe over the interior surfaces with a mixture of warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent
or baking soda dissolved in warm water (add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to each 500 mls of
water). Rinse with clean water.
■
■
To help remove “old stale refrigerator” smells add a few drops of vanilla essence or vinegar to the
water before cleaning.
■
■
Do not use harsh, abrasive cloths or cleaners or highly perfumed, strong smelling cleaners or
solvents on any part of the refrigerator as they can cause damage.
Glass shelves
■
■
Clean with warm water and detergent or a glass cleaner. If cleaning the shelves without
removing from the cabinet, use only warm water and detergent as a glass cleaner can damage
the plastic components of your refrigerator.
Exterior surfaces
■
■
Clean exterior surfaces with warm water and detergent only.
■
■
If necessary, clean the magnetic door gasket with an old toothbrush, and a mixture of warm
water and liquid dishwashing detergent.
