Internal Cleaning
Wash the inside of the appliance with luke warm water and a mild
soap. Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, steel wool,
scouring sponges, chemical cleaning agents, or highly perfumed
cleaning products to clean the interior as these will damage the sur-
face and leave behind a strong odor. A sponge, towel, or soft brush
is recommended. Wash with a mixture of two tablespoons (30ml)
of baking soda to 1 quart (1.14L) warm water. After cleaning, wipe
all surfaces with a soft cloth and clean water to rinse, and allow the
fridge/freezer to dry.
External Cleaning
Wash the outside of the cabinet with warm water and a mild soap or
detergent.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, chemical cleaning
agents, steel wool or scouring sponges to clean the fridge as it may
cause damage to the surfaces.
• Do not install the fridge close to sources of heat, such as a stove,
boiler, heater, chimney, etc, and avoid exposure of the appliance to
direct sunlight.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure
that the air vents of the compressor housing cover are not ob-
structed. Also allow adequate spacing around the cabinet for air
circulation (3" or 7.5cm)
• Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all food and
liquids in airtight packages or containers.
• Always keep food stored in tightly sealed packaging or containers,
and allow some space for air to circulate around each item.
• Avoid keeping the door open for extended periods of time or
opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet
and cause the compressor to run unnecessarily often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing
properly and forming a tight seal.
• To ensure a safe food storage temperature, maintain an operating
temperature inside the fridge cabinet of 2˚C/36˚F to 4˚C/39˚F.
Fridge temperatures warmer than 4˚C/39˚F can promote unsafe bacterial growth in
food.
