Cleaning the interior
You should clean the refrigerator interior regularly. It will
be easiest to clean when the food supply is low. Wash
the interior with a soft cloth and use an unscented mild
soap with lukewarm water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces
and removable parts. Avoid getting water on refrigerator
controls. If you have taken out any removable parts,
replace them and switch the power on before restocking
the refrigerator with food. You should keep the interior
of your refrigerator hygienic by promptly and thoroughly
wiping up any food spills.
Keep door seals clean
Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drink
can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you
open the door. Wash the seal with a mild detergent and
warm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry.
CAUTION!
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners,
aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners,
or scourers to clean your refrigerator.
Many commercially available cleaning products and
detergents contain solvents that will damage your refrigerator.
Use only a soft cloth with an unscented mild soap and
lukewarm water.
If your refrigerator has telescopic extension slides, simply wipe
them with a damp cloth to clean them and never immerse
them in water.
Energy consumption (electricity costs)
The following guide will help you reduce the running cost
of your new refrigerator. This will save you money and help
conserve our valuable energy resources.
• If you keep your old refrigerator, save power by
switching it off when not in use
• Do not set your freezer temperature too low. After
24 hours, ice cream should be firm but able to be
scooped out with a spoon without bending the
handle. If ice cream is firmer than this (or too soft),
adjust the freezer temperature controls
• Ensure that the refrigerator doors seal properly as you
close them
• Before you open the refrigerator doors, decide what
you want to put in or take out. This will minimize the
time you have the doors open
• It is best to have the refrigerator in a place that is out
of direct sunlight and away from heating appliances
of any kind. For example, do not place the refrigerator
next to a cooker, stove or dishwasher
• Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before
you put them in your freezer
• Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator section
WARNING!
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the refrigerator off at the
power point and unplug the cord to prevent any
chance of electrocution.
Doors and exterior – stainless steel
Your stainless steel appliance is manufactured from a
mark resistant stainless steel. This stainless steel has
a special advanced protective coating that eases the
removal of marks such as finger prints and water spots.
To keep your stainless steel appliance looking at its best,
you should clean it regularly. You should only clean the
stainless steel doors with lukewarm soapy water and
a soft cloth, rinsing with clean water and then wipe the
surface with clean water and a soft clean cloth to remove
soap residue.
Doors – surface hardened acrylic
Clean outside of door with the anti-static cleaner supplied
(ACL Staticide #2003). It is designed to reduce dust
accumulation on acrylic surfaces. Alternatively, use
lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth, rinsing with clean
water and then wipe the surface with a soft clean cloth to
remove soap residue.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive pads or other cleaners as they are
likely to scratch the surface. Damage to this product
after installation is not covered by your warranty.
Drip Tray (Ice & Water models only)
Water may accumulate in the sump located under the
drip tray. If this occurs the sump can be sponged out to
prevent water overflowing down the front of the door.
For cleaning, remove the tray as described below:
1. Insert a finger in the opening at the rear of the drip tray.
2. Whilst holding the front of tray, lever the back
upwards.
3. To refit, position the front of the tray into the front of the
sump then lower the back of the tray into position.
