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

Before 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 a mild detergent, and then dry them sufficiently, before replacing them.Regularly wipe the door gaskets and door seals with water and a mild detergent.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, door baskets, or containers in the dishwasher or in hot water. The parts may become deformed, and glass may shatter 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

This feature is only available on some models.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 recommend that this be done every 12 months to maintain operating efficiency.
