Cleaning and caring for your refrigerator

Interior

29US CA

■■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 in the refrigerator (ideally once every 1 to 2 weeks).

■■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 ½ qt (500 ml) 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.

Bottle holder

■■Clean with warm water and detergent. The use of abrasive cleaners and solvents may cause damage.

Automatic ice dispenser

■■We do not recommend you clean the ice maker componentry, but it is important to clean the bins occasionally.

■■The storage bin should be cleaned regularly and the old ice in the bottom of the bin discarded.

■■Wash bin in lukewarm water, dry thoroughly and replace.

■■When replacing the bin ensure that the scoop is on the right hand side.

Important!

Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents that may attack the plastic components of your refrigerator and cause them to crack. It is important to use only warm water and a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent on any plastic components inside and outside your refrigerator. Avoid using anti-bacterial cleaning products on either the interior or exterior of the cabinet as they may cause rusting of metal components and cracking of plastic components.
