CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Disconnect from the electricity supply before cleaning.
Interior
Note: The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.

1.  Remove all food from the appliance and cover to help keep cool.
2.  Remove all the shelves and salad crisper carefully from the appliance and wash in warm clean water with a soft cloth and dry thoroughly. Never replace the shelves or salad crisper into the appliance if wet.
3.  Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Rinse with water and wipe clean.
4.  For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow sandwiches, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminant accumulation in these areas.
5.  Open the door and allow the interior to dry naturally before replacing the shelves and salad crisper.
6. Plug in and switch on and allow the temperature in the appliance to drop back to an adequate temperature.
7. Replace the food in the appliance.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from underneath the appliance and from around the compressor which is situated at the back of the appliance, regularly to maintain adequate ventilation. Use caution not to damage the coolant system.
• Important: Do not use abrasive cloths, powders, household cleaners, bleach or wax polish to clean the appliance as these can leave a smell in the appliance and can damage the exterior.
