Cyclic & Compact Cleaning Care – Interior/Exterior

Interior

It is important to keep the interior of the refrigerator and freezer clean to help prevent food from becoming contaminated during storage.

The amount and types of food stored determines how often cleaning should be carried out (ideally once every 1 to 2 weeks) in the refrigerator.

Remove the shelves from cabinet and door. Wash shelves and storage bins in warm water and detergent; rinse in clean water and dry before replacing.

Wipe over the interior surfaces with warm water and detergent or baking soda dissolved in warm water (add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to each 500mls of water). Rinse with clean water.

To help remove “old stale refrigerator” smells add a few drops of vanilla essence or vinegar to the water before cleaning.

Clean exterior surfaces with warm water and detergent. Use a toothbrush for the magnetic door gasket.

Do not use harsh, abrasive cloths or cleaners or highly perfumed, strong smelling cleaners or solvents on any part of the refrigerator or freezer.

Glass Shelves

Clean with warm water and detergent or a glass cleaner. If cleaning the shelves without removing from the cabinet use only warm water and detergent as a glass cleaner can damage the plastic components of your refrigerator.

Exterior

Brushed Stainless Exterior Door

For everyday cleaning, use liquid dishwashing detergent in warm water with a clean lint-free cloth. Dry the surface with a cleaning cloth wiping with the grain of the metal.

Antibacterial cleaners may cause rust marks on the stainless steel and some commercially available stainless steel cleaners may damage the plastic components with repeated use. Occasionally use a recommended non oil-based stainless steel cleaner for the exterior door.

Other Exterior Surfaces

Clean all other exterior surfaces with warm water and detergent.

If necessary, clean the magnetic door gasket with an old toothbrush, warm water and detergent.

Water Evaporator Tray

The water evaporator tray is found above the compressor at the back of the refrigerator or freezer. The tray may require infrequent cleaning.

Carefully move the refrigerator or freezer out from the wall. Switch off the appliance.

If the tray is full, have one person support the tray while another person unscrews the fasteners. Take care not to spill any liquid over the electrical components. Empty trays may have the fasteners loosened and the tray slipped over through the keyhole. (Reverse order to reassemble). Wipe out with warm water and detergent or disinfectant.

Reassemble taking care not to over-tighten the fasteners. Switch on the appliance.
