  • Clean the interior of the appliance regularly. It will be easier to clean with fewer items stored inside.
  • Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of baking soda and water, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removeable parts before putting them back into place.

Door Seals Cleaning
Keep the door seals clean. Sticky food and drinks can cause the door seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when the door is opened. Wash the seal with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly after cleaning.

CAUTION: Only after the door seals are completely dry should the appliance be turned back on and plugged back into the power source.

Defrosting
Although this appliance defrosts automatically, a layer of frost may build up on the freezer compartment’s interior walls if the freezer door is opened too frequently or kept open too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the freezer is nearly empty and proceed as follows: Remove any existing food or storage baskets, unplug the appliance from the power source, and leave the doors open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to accelerate this process. When the defrosting is completed, clean your freezer as described above.

CAUTION: Do not use sharp objects to remove frost from the freezer compartment. Only after the interior is completely dry should the appliance be turned back on and plugged back into the power source.
