Cleaning Care – Interior/Exterior
Interior
It is important to keep the interior of the refrigerator and freezer clean to help prevent food from
becoming contaminated during storage.
The amount and types of food stored determines how often cleaning should be carried out
(ideally once every 1 to 2 weeks) in the refrigerator.
Remove the shelves from cabinet and door. Wash shelves and storage bins in warm water and
detergent; rinse in clean water and dry before replacing.
Wipe over the interior surfaces with warm water and detergent or baking soda dissolved in warm
water (add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to each 500mls of water). Rinse with clean water.
To help remove “old stale refrigerator” smells add a few drops of vanilla essence or vinegar to the
water before cleaning.
Clean exterior surfaces with warm water and detergent. Use a toothbrush for the magnetic
door gasket.
Do not use harsh, abrasive cloths or cleaners or highly perfumed, strong smelling cleaners or
solvents on any part of the refrigerator or freezer.
Exterior
Stainless Exterior Door
It is important when cleaning the exterior door surface of your refrigerator, to only use liquid
dishwashing detergent dissolved in warm water.
Dry the door with a clean, lint free cloth.
The use of any abrasive or stainless steel cleaners and solvents will damage the door surface.
Other Exterior Surfaces
Clean all other exterior surfaces with warm water and detergent.
If necessary, clean the magnetic door gasket with an old toothbrush, warm water and detergent.
Water Evaporator Tray
The water evaporator tray is found above the compressor at the back of the refrigerator or
freezer. The tray may require infrequent cleaning.
Carefully move the refrigerator or freezer out from the wall.
Switch off the appliance.
If the tray is full, have one person support the tray while another person unscrews the fasteners.
Take care not to spill any liquid over the electrical components. Empty trays may have the
fasteners loosened and the tray slipped over through the keyhole. (Reverse order to reassemble).
Wipe out with warm water and detergent or disinfectant.
Reassemble taking care not to over-tighten the fasteners.
Switch on the appliance.
