Cleaning the control panel
The refrigerator’s control panel is made of delicate materials. To protect its surfaces, do not clean it with solvent based
chemicals. Simply wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Cleaning the outside of the refrigerator
Use a warm, damp, soft cloth to clean the outside of your refrigerator. For more stubborn marks, use a mild kitchen
detergent and wipe away with a soft damp cloth. Remove any remaining surface water with a dry cloth.
Notes for cleaning
When cleaning inside or outside your refrigerator, do not use:
● alkaline detergents - they can crack plastic parts.
● grinding dust, soap powder, oil-based cleaners, hot water, brushes, acids, benzenes, solvents or alcohol-based
solutions - all can damage the refrigerator’s surfaces and plastic parts.
Make sure you wipe off any stains from edible oils, which can also damage plastic parts.
Maintenance check
● Is the mains lead damaged?
● Does the mains plug get hot?
● Is the mains plug firmly in the mains socket?
If the mains lead or LED lamp are damaged, please consult an authorized service centre. DO NOT
attempt to replace these items yourself.
WARNING
Extended disuse
If you’re not going to use the refrigerator for a long time, unplug it and clean the mains plug as
described above. Then leave the doors open for 2-3 days. This lets the interior dry out properly, and
prevents odour and the build up of mould.
Do not switch the refrigerator on and off repeatedly. It will last longer if you leave it switched on
during normal use.
CAUTION
Before moving or transporting your refrigerator
① Remove all items.
② Unplug it.
③ Raise the adjustable leg.
④ Pull, or ‘walk’ the refrigerator towards you.
⑤ Drain the water from the evaporation pan, at the lower back of the refrigerator:
● Put a container underneath the drain cock, and slowly loosen it.
● Pierce the film on the outlet with a screwdriver or similar. Then drain the water.
(The next time you do this, simply loosen the drain cock.)
● After draining, make sure you tighten the drain cock to prevent future water
leaks. (Lower back of the refrigerator)
