Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning:
- Frequency: Regularly clean the appliance (exterior and interior) at least every two months.
- Preparation: Switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Exterior: Wipe digital and display panels with a soft, clean cloth. Clean doors, handles, and cabinet surfaces with mild detergent and soft cloth. Avoid sharp objects, thinners, car detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers, or organic solvents.
- Interior: Clean with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda, rinse with warm water, and dry thoroughly. Remove shelves and baskets for cleaning.
- Defrosting (Automatic): While automatic, excessive frost buildup from frequent door opening may require manual defrosting. Remove food, unplug, leave doors open, and ventilate. Clean after defrosting. Avoid sharp objects for frost removal.
- Door Seals: Keep clean to prevent sticking and tearing. Wash with mild detergent and warm water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
