36 Cleaning and caring for your refrigerator
Exterior (all models)Stainless exterior doors■■
It is important when cleaning the exterior door surface of
your refrigerator, to only use liquid dishwashing detergent
dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth.
■■
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 (all models)■■
Clean all other exterior surfaces with a mix of warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent,
and a soft cloth.
■■
If necessary, clean the magnetic door gasket and the centre door gaskets with an old
toothbrush, warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.
Water evaporator tray (all models)■■
The water evaporator tray is found above the compressor at the back of the refrigerator. The
tray may require infrequent cleaning.
■■
Carefully move the refrigerator 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
liquid dishwashing detergent or disinfectant.
■■
Switch on and replace the appliance.
Water dispenser pad and interface (Ice & Water models only)■■
We have incorporated a Dispenser and KEY LOCK function in your refrigerator to make cleaning
easier (refer to page 28). This will help you to avoid accidental water dispensing while you clean.
■■
Clean the pad and interface panel with a microfibre cloth and a mixture of warm water and
liquid dishwashing detergent.
Drip tray (Ice & Water models only)■■
To clean, take the tray out of the dispenser panel
and pull the two halves of the tray apart.
■■
Clean in warm water with a mild detergent.
Dry the tray and clip back together.
■■
Reinsert the tray back into the dispenser panel.
