Cyclic and Compact cleaning care – interior/exterior
Exterior
Stainless exterior door
■■It is important when cleaning the exterior door surface of your refrigerator, to only use liquid dishwashing detergent dissolved in warm water.
■■Dry the door with a clean, lint free cloth.
■■The use of any abrasive or stainless steel cleaners and solvents will damage the door surface.
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.
■■We do not recommend that you remove the evaporator tray. If cleaning is required, excess water can be soaked up from the evaporator tray using a sponge. Wipe out with warm water and detergent or disinfectant.
■■Switch on the appliance.
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 500 mls 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 interior 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.
