Before cleaning, unplug the appliance. Clean the interior regularly with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals.

Collect melted water with a towel or tray. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior before restarting.

The door gaskets are treated with an anti-mold agent. Clean them regularly with warm water and a soft cloth to maintain their effectiveness and ensure a tight seal.
