Notes for Cleaning
 • When removing a shelf or drawer from inside 
the appliance, remove all stored foods from 
the shelf or drawer to prevent injury or 
damage to the appliance.
 − Otherwise, injury may occur due to the 
weight of stored foods.
 • If cleaning the outside air vents of the 
appliance by means of vacuuming, then the 
power cord should be unplugged from the 
outlet to avoid any static discharge that can 
damage the electronics or cause an electric 
shock.
 • Detach the shelves and drawers and clean 
them with water, and then dry them 
sufficiently, before replacing them.
 • Regularly wipe the door gaskets with a wet 
soft towel.
 • Door basket spills and stains should be 
cleaned as they can compromise storage 
ability of the basket and could even be 
damaged.
 • After cleaning, check if the power cable is 
damaged, warm or improperly plugged.
 • Keep the air vents on the exterior of the 
appliance clean.
 − Blocked air vents can cause fire or appliance 
damage.

or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm 
water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. 
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, 
etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable
