appliance before cleaning.

Never use any sharp abrasive

instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning. For non-No Frost products, water

drops and frosting up to a fingerbreadth occur on the rear wall of the Fridge compartment. Do not clean it; never apply oil or similar agents on it.

Only use slightly damp microfiber

cloths to clean the outer surface of the product. Sponges and other types of cleaning cloths may scratch the surface.

Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet

of your refrigerator and wipe it dry.

Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution

of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.

Make sure that no water enters the lamp

housing and other electrical items.

If your refrigerator is not going to be used

for a long period of time, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

are clean and free from food particles.

To remove door racks, remove all the

contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.
