Cleaning your refrigerator
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the refrigerator off at the power
point and unplug the cord to prevent any chance of
electrocuting yourself.
• Doors and exterior – stainless steel
Your stainless steel appliance is manufactured from a mark
resistant stainless steel. This stainless steel has a special advanced
protective coating that eases the removal of marks such as nger
prints and water spots. To keep your stainless steel appliance
looking at its best, you should clean it regularly. You should only
clean the stainless steel doors with luke-warm soapy water and a
soft cloth, rinsing with clean water and then wipe the surface with
clean water and a soft clean cloth to remove soap residue.
It is important to wipe in the direction of the grain of the
stainless steel to avoid undue marking of the surface.
Do not use abrasive pads or other cleaners as they are
likely to scratch the surface. Damage to this product after
installation is not covered by your warranty.
Drip Tray (Ice & Water models only)
Water may accumulate in the sump located under the drip tray.
If this occurs the sump can be sponged out to prevent water
overowing down the front of the door.
For cleaning, remove the tray as described below:
1. opening in drip tray
1. Insert a lever (e.g. spoon handle) in the
opening in the drip tray.
2. Whilst holding the front of tray, lever the
back upwards.
3. To ret, position the front of the tray into
the front of the sump then lower the back
of the tray.
Cleaning the interior
You should clean the refrigerator interior regularly. It will be easiest
to clean when the food supply is low. Wash the interior with a
soft cloth and use an unscented mild soap with lukewarm water.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts. Avoid getting
water on refrigerator controls. If you have taken out any removable
parts, replace them and switch the power on before restocking
the refrigerator with food. You should keep the interior of your
refrigerator hygienic by promptly and thoroughly wiping up any
food spills.
Keep door seals clean
Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drink can
cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the
door. Wash the seal with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water and dry.
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners,
aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive
cleaners, or scourers to clean this appliance as they will
damage it.
Many commercially available cleaning products and
detergents contain solvents that will damage your
refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a soft cloth
with an unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
Energy consumption
(electricity costs)
The following guide will help you reduce the running cost of your
new refrigerator. This will save you money and help conserve our
valuable energy resources.
1. If you keep your old refrigerator, save power by switching it off
when not in use.
2. Do not set your freezer temperature too low. After 24 hours,
ice cream should be rm but able to be scooped out with a
spoon without bending the handle. If ice cream is rmer than
this (or too soft), adjust the freezer temperature controls (see
‘Controlling the Temperatures’, page 10).
3. Ensure that the refrigerator doors seal properly as you close
them.
4. Before you open the refrigerator doors, decide what you want
to put in or take out. This will minimize the time you have the
doors open.
5. It is best to have the refrigerator in a place that is out of direct
sunlight and away from heating appliances of any kind. For
example, do not place the refrigerator next to
a cooker, stove or dishwasher.
6. Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before you put
them in your freezer.
7. Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator section.
8. If you keep the freezer compartment lled to capacity, your
food mass will help maintain the freezer temperature when you
open the door.
9. Do not block air vents. Doing so may cause the refrigerator to
run longer and use more energy.
Switching off the refrigerator
If you are leaving for a short holiday, there is no need to turn off
your refrigerator – use eco/vacation or eco mode (page 11).
If you are going on a long holiday and want to turn the refrigerator
off, follow the steps below.
1. Take all the food out of the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
2. Switch off the refrigerator and remove the electric cord from
the power point.
3. Clean the inside.
4. Leave the doors open. This prevents bacteria from growing
and causing smells in the refrigerator.
Power failure
If there is a power failure in your area, keep the door to the freezer
closed. Most foods in your freezer will stay frozen for 24 hours.
