Cleaning and maintenance
Unplug the refrigerator before starting
to clean it.
Never clean the refrigerator with
flammable fluids such as alcohol,
kerosene, gasoline, thinner, solvents
or chemical / abrasive products like
detergents, acids or vinegar. Cleaning
products such as powdered
detergents, abrasive cleansers,
alkaline cleansers, chemically treated
cloths, solvents, alcohol and even hot
water should also not be used to
clean the refrigerator, as they can
damage the paint and the plastic
parts.
If you are not going to use the
refrigerator for an extended period of
time, unplug it, clean and dry the
inside, and then close it properly.
Do not clean the Refrigerator by
throwing water directly on it, neither
on the outside, nor on the inside.
Inside
Before cleaning, remember that
humid objects adhere easily to
extremely cold surfaces. For this
reason, do not touch these surfaces
with damp cloths, objects or hands.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator
with a cloth dampened in a solution
of warm water and baking soda (one
spoonful of baking soda for each liter
of water). Never use metallic objects,
brushes, abrasive or alkaline products
to clean the plastic surfaces inside the
refrigerator. Plastic parts should not
be washed in hot water.
Electrical parts
Use a dry cloth to clean the electrical
parts to avoid short circuits.
