(5ml to 0.5 litre of water)
• Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge
or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.

• Wash stainless steel and painted metal parts with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water.
• Take caution when cleaning as there are sharp edges on the bottom of the unit.
• Once or twice a year, dust the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an
accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause an increase of
energy consumption.
WA R N IN G
• Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable
fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum
products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scour-
ing pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. Never use flammable fluids or sprays for cleaning as
the fumes from these substances can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in the electrical
components. Failure to follow this recommendation could result in electrical shock. Hot steam
can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
• The appliance must be completely dry before it is turned back on.
• Essential oils and organic solvents (e.g. lemon juice or the juice from an orange peel) and
cleansers that contain acetic acid can damage the plastic parts. Do not clean the appliance
with substances such as these.
DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES AND PACKAGING
Be sure to make any locks unusable, remove any doors and discard separately.
Warning - chemical hazard: do not allow children to play with the old appliance.
Contact your local authority for disposal procedures.
• Before disposing of an old appliance, please make sure it is switched off and safe. Unplug the
appliance and break any locks in order to avoid children becoming trapped.
• Please note: the refrigeration system contains gases and refrigerants which require specialist
waste disposal. The valuable materials contained in a refrigerator can be recycled.
• You can contribute to environmental awareness by insisting on an appropriate non-polluting
method of disposal.
• Do not allow pets or children to play with the packaging, and dispose of plastic bags safely.
• The cardboard can be broken or cut into smaller pieces and recycled. The wrapping covers are
made of polyethylene. The polyethylene pads and padding don't contain fluorochloric hydrocar-
bons, and therefore they are recyclable.
WARNING!
Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old appliance:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
• Cut the power cord as close to the appliance as you can.
• If this appliance, featuring a magnetic door seal, is to replace an older appliance having a spring
lock (latch) on the door or lid, please make the spring lock unusable before you discard the old
appliance. This will reduce the risk of trapping children or animals inside.
