Important!
Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents that may attack the plastic
components of your appliance and cause them to crack and may cause rusting of metal
components (antibacterial and citrus cleaners are especially harsh). It is important to use only
warm water and a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent on any components inside or
outside your appliance.
It is important to keep the interior of the compartment 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).
Do not use harsh, abrasive cloths or cleaner, or highly perfumed, strong smelling cleaners or solvents
on any part of your appliance.
Interior
Slide the clips
Remove the storage bins from the compartment and wash in
to the middle, to
a solution of warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.
unlock the tray
Rinse the bins with clean water and dry before replacing in the
compartment.
The main storage tray can also be removed for cleaning. To
remove the tray, slide the clips, located on the back sides of the
tray, into the center of the tray (refer to fig 8). Ensure that the
clips are pushed back to the sides once the tray is placed back
into the cabinet.
Wipe the control panel with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth.
Wipe trays and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a
solution of baking soda dissolved in warm water (1 teaspoon of
baking soda to each pint (500 mls) of water).
To help remove any lingering smells add a few drops of vanilla
essence or vinegar to the water before cleaning.

Exterior
Clean exterior surfaces with warm water and detergent.
Use a toothbrush for the magnetic door gasket.
The air inlet duct located on the bottom (refer to fig 7), left hand
side of the product (accessed from the toe-kick area) should be
cleaned at least once every 6 months with a cloth or vacuum
cleaner. This will help prevent dirt or dust from blocking the inlet
duct and reducing the efficiency of the product.
Vacation time
We recommend you leave your appliance operating while
you are on vacation. Remove all perishable food from the

compartment.
