Cleaning the Refrigerator NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and cabinet), plastic parts, interior and door liners, or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. 1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. 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. 3. Clean the exterior surfaces. Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots. Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots. NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching. 4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home operating environments. If the environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency. If you need to clean the condenser, use a vacuum cleaner. 5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power. Lights The light system inside the fridge compartment uses LEDs light, allowing for better lighting as well as very low energy consumption. If the LED light system does not work, please contact an authorized service provider to replace it. Important: The refrigerator compartment light switches on when the refrigerator door is opened. If the door is kept open for more than 4 minutes, the light will be automatically switched off. Vacation and Moving Care Defrosting NO-FROST REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT: Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic. The defrost water is automatically run into a drain hole hidden behind Multi-flow and collected in a container, where it evaporates. NO-FROST FREEZER COMPARTMENT: No-frost freezers provide chilled air circulation around the storage areas and prevent the formation of ice, thereby completely eliminating the need for defrosting. Frozen items don't stick to the walls, labeling stays legible, and storage space remains neat and clear. Vacation If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You're Away: Use up or freeze perishable food. If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You Leave: 1. Remove all food from the refrigerator. 2. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up. Moving 1. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don't shift and rattle during the move. 2. Unplug refrigerator. 3. Raise the leveling screws so they don't scrape the floor. 4. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of the refrigerator. When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions. 15
