Cleaning and caring for your refrigerator
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 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 detergent or baking soda dissolved in warm
■ ■
water (add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to each ½ qt (500 ml) 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.
Glass shelves
Clean with warm water and detergent or a glass cleaner. If cleaning the shelves without
■ ■
removing from the cabinet, use only warm water and detergent as a glass cleaner can damage
the plastic components of your refrigerator.
Bottle holder
Clean with warm water and detergent. The use of abrasive cleaners and solvents may
■ ■
cause damage.
Automatic ice dispenser
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.
■ ■
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 plastic 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.
