Cleaning and maintenance

Unplug the refrigerator before starting to
clean it.
Never clean the refrigerator with
flammable fluids such as alcohol,
kerosene, gasoline, thinner, solvents or
chemical / abrasive products like
detergents, acids or vinegar. Cleaning
products such as powdered detergents,
abrasive cleansers, alkaline cleansers,
chemically treated cloths, solvents,
alcohol and even hot water should also
not be used to clean the refrigerator, as
they can damage the paint and the
plastic parts.
If you are not going to use the
refrigerator for an extended period of
time, unplug it, clean and dry the inside,
and then close it properly.
Do not clean the Refrigerator by
throwing water directly on it, neither on
the outside, nor on the inside.

Inside

Before cleaning, remember that humid
objects adhere easily to extremely cold
surfaces. For this reason, do not touch
these surfaces with damp cloths,
objects or hands. Clean the inside of
the refrigerator with a cloth dampened in
a solution of warm water and baking
soda (one spoonful of baking soda for
each liter of water). Never use metallic
objects, brushes, abrasive or alkaline
products to clean the plastic surfaces
inside the refrigerator. Plastic parts
should not be washed in hot water.

Electrical parts

Use a dry cloth to clean the electrical
parts to avoid short circuits.

Outside

Clean the outside of the refrigerator with
a damp cloth dipped in warm water and
mild soap.
Once every 6 months, clean the back of
the refrigerator with a vacuum cleaner or
a duster. The dust that accumulates
there interferes with proper functioning
of the condenser, and therefore of the
refrigerator, leading to higher energy
consumption. Disconnect the
refrigerator before cleaning and do not
touch the condenser or the compressor,
as they may be hot.
The drainage tray should be cleaned at
least once a year.
Water will enter the refrigerator if the
drainpipe becomes blocked; if this
happens, disassemble the light protector
and wash out the drain pipe.

Door seals

The rubber door seals should be carefully cleaned with a damp cloth. Rinse
and dry them carefully to avoid damage.

Substituting the light

Should the light fail, switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
Then ensure the bulb is screwed securely in the bulb holder. Replace the plug
and switch on. If the light still fails, obtain a replacement E14 screw-cap type
15 W (Max) bulb from your local electrical sore and then fit it. Carefully dispose
of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.
Notes
After cleaning the refrigerator, check the following:
1. Check to be sure the cord is not damaged.
2. Check to see if the plug is properly connected to the outlet.
3. Check to see if the grounding cable is installed.
4. Check to see if the drain is clogged.
