- Use neutral detergent to clean heavy stains and dry with a clean soft cloth.
- For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the fridge. Clean the fridge and
leave the door open a little. Then place the fridge to a ventilated place.
- Do not use detergents that contain corrosive and deliquescent ingredients (e.g. scouring
powder, bleach, soap powder, alkaline cleanser, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water etc.)
to clean the operation panels, door gaskets and plastic parts.
NOTE: Do not sprinkle water on the fridge when cleaning because that could
reduce the insulating property of electrical components and erode the metal
parts.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Following situations are normal:

- In the rainy or very humid weather moisture may form on the outside of the fridge or on
the door gaskets. You can wipe damp surfaces with a dry cloth.
- The temperature on the back panel may be high (particularly in summer) due to the heat
emission of the condenser.
- The temperature on the external surfaces of the compressor may be high when the com-
pressor is working.
- The compressor may create a high hum or pulsating sound when it is at the starting or
stopping phase.
- It is normal to hear a metal slam from the compressor if the fridge is bumped.
