CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Interior
z
It is important to keep the interior of the refrigerator and freezer clean to help prevent
food from becoming contaminated during storage.
z
The amount and types of food stored determines how often cleaning should be carried
out in the refrigerator (ideally once every 1 to 2 weeks).
z
Remove the shelves from cabinet and door. Wash shelves and storage bins in warm
water and detergent; rinse in clean water and dry before replacing.
z
Wipe over the interior surfaces with warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.
Alternatively you can use 1tsp baking soda dissolved in 500ml of warm water. Rinse
with cleanwater.
z
To help remove “old stale refrigerator” smells add a few drops of vanilla essence or
vinegar to the water before cleaning.
z
Clean interior surfaces with warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Use a
toothbrush for the magnetic door gasket.
z
Do not use harsh, abrasive cloths on any part of the refrigerator or freezer.
Glass shelves
Clean with warm water and detergent.
Bottle holder (where fitted)
Clean with warm water and detergent. The use of abrasive cleaners and solvents
may cause damage.
Automatic ice dispenser (Ice & Water and Automatic Ice models only)
z
We do not recommend you clean the ice maker componentry, but it is important to clean
the bins occasionally.
z
The storage bin should be cleaned regularly and the old ice in the bottom of
the bin discarded.
z
Wash bin in lukewarm water. Dry thoroughly and replace.
z
When replacing the bin ensure that the scoop is on the right hand side or at the front of
the bin (model dependent).
Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents that may attack the
plastic components of your refrigerator and cause them to crack. It is important to use
only warm water and a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent on any components
inside and outside your refrigerator. Avoid using anti-bacterial cleaning products on either
the interior or exterior of the cabinet as they may cause rusting of metal components and
cracking of plastic components.
