Clean the appliance and accessories (shelves, etc.) inside it with a soft sponge and warm
soapy water mixed with white vinegar. They should then be rinsed with clean water and
carefully dried using a soft cloth.
•
Clean the condensate drain pipe on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. Always
make sure that it is not obstructed as water is collected in a tank at the back of the
appliance. You can clean it with a cotton swab.
•
This water drainage system is very easy to get dirty and causes unpleasant odours; get into
the habit of cleaning it regularly.
•
Regularly inspect the door seals to check that they are clean and not harbouring any food
particles. It is important to keep the door seals clean at all times. Clean them with hot
water and dry thoroughly.
•
The appliance can be turned back on once everything is dry.
•
Do not use hot water to clean the glass shelves if they are cold. There is a risk that the
glass will shatter because of the sudden change in temperature which could cause injury
and serious damage.
•
Never use abrasive or caustic cleaning products or scrub sponges to clean the interior or
exterior of your appliance.
•
NOTE: If the plastic parts of the refrigerator are left with animal or vegetable oil
on them for a long period, they are likely to be damaged and could crack. Clean the
affected parts immediately with hot water.
•
Never use a steam cleaner to clean the refrigerator. The moisture generated can accumulate
on the electrical components and could expose users to the risk of an electric shock. The
hot steam can also damage the interior parts made of plastic.
