Do not use abrassive, heavy-duty powders, etc. These can scratch and dull the surface, depending on their abrassive strength and cleaning pressure applied. Avoid metal pads and abrassive impregnated plastic, nylon and cloth pads, etc. 2.

These cleaners may cause cracking or discolouring. 11 METHODS OF SAFE INSTALLATION Place the refrigerator on a hard and level floor. Place your refrigerator where there is no heat source nearby. High surrounding temperature will lower cooling efficiency and increase your electricity bill. Place the refrigerator in an area with low moisture. Splashing water or a high moisture area may cause a short circuit and invite rusting. Avoid places that are exposed to smoke. The exterior paint may decolor. For good ventilation, place refrigerator at least 6 inches (15 cms) away from the wall. This helps cooling efficiency and lowers the electricity bill. Placing the refrigerator on the carpet may develop heat and discolour the appliance. In such a case, put a hard wooden board or a rubber mat between the refrigerator and the carpet. 4
