CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
Unplugtherefrigeratorrsttopreventelectricshock.■
Do not splash water directly on the outer cabinet or ■
the interior. This may lead to rusting and deterioration
of the electrical insulation.
IMPORTANT
To prevent cracking on inside surfaces and plastic
components, follow these tips.
Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components.•
Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use •
only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water).
If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped •
off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.
Wipe any spills from the refrigerator immediately as acid •
or alkaline in the food can cause cracking and staining of
plastic parts.
Remove the accessories e.g. shelves from the cabinet
1
and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water;
rinse in clean water and dry. (Only fruit and vegetable
shelf is not removable.)
Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy
2
dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off
soapy water.
Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.
3
Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and
4
warm soapy dishwashing water.
There may be a slight odour in the refrigerator. This is •
the smell of ozone generated by the ionizer. The amount
of ozone is minimal, and quickly decomposes in the
refrigerator.
NOTE
Do not use hot water, household cleaning powders, creams or •
spray-on cleaning products, or any other cleaning products such
as mineral turpentine, methylated spirits, thinners, petrol etc.
These may damage your refrigerator and may void any warranty.
If the power supply is disconnected, please wait for at least •
5 minutes before re-connecting power.
The glass shelves weigh approximately 3 kg each. Hold rmly •
when removing from the cabinet or carrying.
Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner •
wall. This may cause the inner surface to crack.
Defrosting

STORING FOOD
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
To maximise the shelf life of perishable food products,
ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality.
The following is a general guide to help promote longer food
storage.
Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in an •
airtight container.
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be •
loosely enclosed in a plastic material (e.g. wrap, bags) and
place in the fruit and vegetable crisper.
Eggs should be stored in the Egg tray.• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling •
air to circulate efficiently.
Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot •
foods increases the temperature in the unit and increases
the risk of food spoilage.
Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating •
circuit with foods or containers; otherwise the foods will not
be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
Keep the door securely closed.•
For best freezing
Quality of foods should be •
fresh.
Freeze small quantities •
of food at a time to freeze
them quickly.
Food should be properly •
sealed, sealed tightly or
covered.
Evenly place the food in •
the freezer.
Label bags or containers •
to keep an inventory of
frozen food.
Do not place food directly in front of cold air
outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.
