Cleaning and Care
! Warning! To avoid electric shock, always unplug your refrigerator or
switch off the circuit breaker before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may
result in death or injury.
• Remove foods from the appliance before cleaning and store them in a cool,
covered place.
Interior and exterior surfaces
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in
electrical components.
• Before cleaning the interior, remove shelves and drawers.
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with
warm water. Use a sponge or soft cloth dampened with the cleaning solution
to wipe down your appliance, as well as the shelves and drawers.
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergents, organic solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of
these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your refrigerator.
• Do not allow water to come into contact with the electrical connections on the
temperature control or the interior light.
• Once everything is dry, return the shelves, drawers and food to the interior
and put the appliance back into service.
• If the appliance is not going to be used for a long time, switch it off and
remove all food. Clean the appliance and keep the doors open.
• To preserve the appearance of your appliance, you can polish the exterior and
the door accessories with a silicone wax.
• Clean the condenser coils at the back of the appliance once a year using a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. Dust build-up leads to increased energy
consumption.
• Clean door gaskets every three months using a baking soda solution as
described above. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to ensure a proper
seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep the
gaskets pliable and ensure a good seal.
