cleaning and servicing
your refrigerator
Always disconnect your refrigerator
t
before any type of servicing.
Never use toxic products, abrasives, or
t
steel-wool sponges as these will damage
the surface of your product.
Use a soft sponge or damp cloth, and a
t
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
t
refrigerator or its shelves.
To make cleaning easier all our models come with high-resistance glass
t
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.
t
Try to do this at least once every 6 months.
heating of areas near the freezer
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.
t
Don’t let children hang from the doors or play near the refrigerator when
t
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
t
weight could break these.
Sometimes, it can cause trouble to reopen the refrigerator door
t
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.
Before throwing out your old refrigerator or freezer, take the following precua-
tions to prevent the risk of a child entrapment.
Take off the doors
t
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
