ActiveSmart™ Cleaning Care Instructions

Stainless Exterior Doors

• Clean the exterior door with liquid dishwashing detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth.
• Dry the door with a lint-free cloth.
• The use of any abrasive or stainless steel cleaners and solvents will damage the door surface.

Other Exterior Services

• Clean all other exterior surfaces with a mix of warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent, and a soft cloth.
• If necessary, clean the magnetic door gasket, the centre door gasket and the recessed handles with an old toothbrush, warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.

Cabinet Surround

• To maximise operating efficiency regularly vacuum the flooring around your appliance.
• Cleaning behind the appliance is required once or twice a year. More frequent cleaning may be necessary for dusty homes or those with pets shedding hair.
• To do this wind up the feet and carefully ease the refrigerator out of its position. Switch off and unplug.
• Vacuum the flooring behind your appliance to remove dust accumulation. Use a dry lint-free cloth to clean the appliance walls and surrounding cabinetry.
• After cleaning, plug in and switch on. Push the appliance into position and wind feet down.

Electric Shock Hazard. Do not remove rear compartment cover. This may expose you to the risk of an electric shock.

Water Evaporator Tray

• The water evaporator tray is found above the compressor at the back of the refrigerator or freezer. The tray may require infrequent cleaning.
• Carefully move the refrigerator or freezer out from the wall.
• Switch off the appliance.
• We do not recommend that you remove the evaporator tray. If cleaning is required, excess water can be soaked up from the evaporator tray using a sponge. Wipe out with warm water and detergent or disinfectant.
• Switch on the appliance and reposition the refrigerator.

Glass shelves

• Clean with warm water and detergent or a glass cleaner.

Bottle Holder (where fitted)

• Clean with warm water and detergent. The use of abrasive cleaners and solvents may cause damage.

Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents that may cause damage such as cracking to the plastic components of your refrigerator. It is important to use only warm water and a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent on any components inside and outside your refrigerator. Avoid using anti-bacterial cleaning products on either the interior or exterior of the cabinet as they may cause rusting of metal components and cracking of plastic components.

Humidity Control System (where fitted)

When cleaning the shelf above the vegetable bins, we recommend that you do not disassemble the Humidity Control System from the shelf. In the event that the humidity control lid (plastic lid) and humidity slides become separated from the glass shelf, follow these instructions to reassemble.

Turn shelf upside down. To attach humidity slides onto shelf front corners, fit bottom clips into shelf front trim. Next, slide sideways towards shelf until arm clips onto glass.

To attach humidity control lid — with text facing you, align lid with front of shelf. Hold lid vertically and fit front end into retainer on shelf. Ensure lid fits into retainer as well as underneath humidity slides.

At the sides of the shelf, adjust humidity slide tabs so that the plastic lid is between the shelf and the tabs. If clips on back of shelf are present, fasten lid with rear clips. Ensure that the cover is fully secure at front and back of shelf.

To Remove Trays Or Fixed Bins (selected ActiveSmart™ models only) For ease of removal, empty food from tray/bin first. Hold the centre front of the tray/bin handle. Lift vertically to unclip from the runners and pull tray/bin towards you to remove. Push both runners back into refrigerator.
