DEFROSTING/CLEANING
Keep your stainless steel looking new by cleaning
with a good-quality stainless steel cleaner or polish
monthly. High-quality stainless steel cleaners and
conditioners are commercially available.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS or
ABRASIVE PADS. Do not use cleaners that are
not for use on stainless steel, such as glass
cleaners, tile cleaners or cleaners used to clean
counter tops. These types of cleaners can dam-
age the surface permanently.
Stainless steel that is exposed to chlorine gas and
moisture may have some discoloration. This discol-
oration is normal. If your appliance is used in this
environment, clean and polish your stainless steel
more often.
If the surface discolors or rusting appears, clean
it quickly with a nonabrasive cloth and protect it.
Always clean and polish in the direction of the grain
and finish.
Defrosting
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automati-
cally. The water that forms on the rear wall drains
into a reservoir at the back of the appliance and
evaporates automatically through the compressor
heat.
Cleaning
• To prevent possible injury due to an
electrical shock, be sure to disconnect
the power cord or turn off the circuit
breaker before replacing the interior
light tube or cleaning the appliance.
• To avoid injury or damage, do not use
steam cleaning equipment to clean
the appliance.
Clean the inside and equipment by hand with
lukewarm water and a little detergent.
Do not use abrasive or scouring sponges. Do not
use concentrated cleaning agents. Never use abra-
sive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents or steam
cleaners.
• Ensure no cleaning water penetrates into the
electrical components or ventilation grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• Do not damage or remove the model plate on
the inside of the appliance. It is very important for
servicing your appliance.
Remove any dust from the outside of the ventilation
grille (Figure 17) with a vacuum cleaner.
