Cleaning outside
Door handles and trim
Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with
a soft cloth.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly
dampened with mild liquid dish detergent. Dry with a
clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth
or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can
damage the fi nish. Do not use scouring pads, powdered
cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because
these products can scratch and damage the fi nish.
Stainless steel
Regularly clean and polish the Stainless Steel
Door Panels and Handles (on some models) with
a commercially available stainless steel cleaner to
preserve and protect the fi ne fi nish.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless
steel.
Custom Wood Panels - please contact your custom
panel supplier for direction on cleaning and care.
Cleaning inside
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box
before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excess
moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around
switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution— about a
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter)
of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors.
Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—including door gaskets,
vegetable drawer, ice storage bins and all plastic parts—
can be cleaned the same way. After cleaning the door
gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door
gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets
from sticking and bending out of shape.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature diff erence may cause
them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Rough
handling of tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic parts in the dishwasher.
Preparing for vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food from the
refrigerator. Adjust the temperature up (+) until the unit
turns off . Clean the interior with a baking soda solution of
one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart
(1 liter) of water. Leave the door open.
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and
leave the control at the regular setting. However, if the
room temperature is expected to drop below 16°C, follow
the same instructions as for extended vacations.
Turn off the icemaker and shut off the water supply to the
freezer.
Interior light replacement
Do not try to replace a burned-out LED light. An
authorized technician will need to replace the LED lights.
Refrigerator location
Do not install the refrigerator where temperatures
will be below 16°C because it will not maintain proper
temperatures, and the refrigerator couldl develop high
internal humidity.
For proper installation, the refrigerator must be placed
on a level surface of hard material the same height
as the rest of the fl ooring. This surface should be
strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator,
or approximately 500 kg each. See the Installation
Instructions for complete directions.
Clearances
Allow 42,5 cm minimum clearance between the door and
wall for a full 115° door swing. Allow 9 cm min. clearance
to a wall for a 90° door swing for Stainless Steel panel.
