Cleaning and Servicing Your Refrigerator
Heating of Areas near the Freezer
General Precautions
92
Always disconnect your refrigerator before any type of servicing.
Never use toxic products, abrasives, or steel-wool sponges as these
will damage the surface of your product.
Use a soft sponge or damp cloth, and a neutral soap to wash. Rinse
the refrigerator, and dry it with a clean and dry cloth. You can also
use a solution of bicarbonate of soda (one tablespoon dissolved in
two litres of tepid water) to clean the inside.
Don’t use steel-wool sponges or sharp objects as these could scratch
the refrigerator or its shelves.
To make cleaning easier all our models come with high-resistance
glass shelves with anti-spill edges. These give you time to clean
liquid spillages before they spread.
Use a brush, cloth, or sponge to remove dust build-up from the
condenser. Try to do this at least once every 6 months.
Your refrigerator comes with an anti-condensation mechanism. The
heating of some areas external to your refrigerator is normal. This
happens to prevent water droplets from condensing on the outside
of your refrigerator. However, if room temperature and humidity are
higher than usual, light condensation may form. Dry with a cloth.
Don’t touch the inside of the freezer door with wet hands.
Don’t let children hang from the doors or play near the refrigerator when the door is open, as they
may injure themselves, bang into it, or get trapped.
Don’t let children hang from shelves or the Smart Station door, as excessive weight could break
these.
Sometimes, it can cause trouble to reopen the refrigerator door immediately after closing. This
normal occurrence is a result of a vacuum formation inside the refrigerator, caused by air at
different temperatures combining. Wait 10 to 15 seconds and the doors will open easily once again.
