Cleaning care – Interior

It is important to keep the interior of the refrigerator and freezer clean to help prevent food from becoming contaminated during storage.
The amount and types of food stored determines how often cleaning should be carried out in the refrigerator (ideally once every 1 to 2 weeks).
Remove the shelves from cabinet and door. Wash shelves and storage bins in warm water and detergent; rinse in clean water and dry before replacing.

We do not recommend you cleaning the ice maker components, but it is important to regularly clean your ice bin and discard any old ice in the bottom of the bin(s).
When going on vacation/holiday we recommend you turn the ice maker OFF on the internal control panel and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator (if accessible). Refer to ‘Using your ice maker’ section.
On your return turn on the water supply to the refrigerator (if accessible). Flush the water filtration system by dispensing 4 litres (4 qt) of water and discarding. This will ensure the tank is refilled with fresh water.
Turn on the ice maker and discard the first 3 harvests of ice (8 ice cubes are produced per harvest). Refer to ‘Using your ice maker’ section.
