Cleaning and caring for your refrigerator
Interior (all models)
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 in
the refrigerator (ideally once every 1 to 2 weeks).
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 liquid dishwashing detergent. Alternatively
you can use 1 tsp baking soda dissolved in 500 ml (½ qt) of warm water. Rinse with cleanwater.
To help remove “old stale refrigerator” smells add a few drops of vanilla essence or vinegar to the
water before cleaning.
Clean interior surfaces with warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Use a toothbrush for
the magnetic door gasket.
Do not use harsh, abrasive cloths on any part of the refrigerator or freezer.
Glass shelves (all models)
Clean with warm water and detergent or a glass cleaner.
Bottle holder (where fitted)
Clean with warm water and detergent. The use of abrasive cleaners and solvents may cause
damage.
Automatic ice dispenser (Ice & Water models only)
We do not recommend you clean the ice maker componentry, but it is important to clean the
bins occasionally.
The storage bin should be cleaned regularly and the old ice in the bottom of the bin discarded.
Wash bin in lukewarm water. Dry thoroughly and replace.
When replacing the bin ensure that the scoop is on the right hand side or at the front of the bin
(model dependent, refer to page 29).
Important!
Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents that may attack the plastic
components of your refrigerator and cause them to crack. It is important to use only warm water
and a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent on any components inside and outside your
refrigerator. Avoid using anti-bacterial cleaning products on either the interior or exterior of the
cabinet as they may cause rusting of metal components and cracking of plastic components.
