General Cleaning Tips
•  Performing manual defrosting, maintenance or 
cleaning of the appliance while food is stored in 
the freezer can raise the temperature of the food 
and reduce its storage life.
•  Regularly clean any surfaces that can come in 
contact with food.
•  When cleaning the inside or outside of the 
appliance, do not wipe it with a rough brush, 
toothpaste, or flammable materials. Do not use 
cleaning agents containing flammable 
substances. This may cause discolouration or 
damage to the appliance.
- Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol, 
methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, 
etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable 
liquid, abrasive, etc.
•  After cleaning, check if the power cable is 
damaged.
Cleaning the Exterior
•  When 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. 
Regular cleaning of the rear and side ventilation 
covers is recommended to maintain reliable and 
economical operation of the unit.
•  Keep the air vents on the exterior of the 
appliance clean. Blocked air vents can cause fire 
or appliance damage.
•  For the appliance exterior, use a clean sponge or 
soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. 
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry 
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use 
contaminated cloths when cleaning the stainless 
steel doors. Always use a dedicated cloth and 
wipe in the same direction as the grain. This 
helps reduce surface staining and tarnishing.
Cleaning the Interior
•  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.
•  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.
•  Never clean the shelves or containers in the 
dishwasher. The parts may become deformed 
due to the heat.
•  The automatic defrosting system in the 
appliance ensures that the compartment 
remains free of ice buildup under normal 
operating conditions. Users do not need to 
defrost it manually.
Cleaning the Condenser Cover
Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush to clean the 
condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the 
panel covering the condenser coil area.
We strongly recommend that this be done every 12 
months to maintain operating efficiency. Failing to 
do so could cause loss of cooling, higher energy 
usage and compressor overheating.
