? Cleaning the Heat Sink Air Filter
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, airflow is obstructed and reduces cooling effect. The air

on indoor air quality.

To remove the air filter, grasp the filter sides and slide the
air filter out. (See Fig. 1)
To replace the air filter, reverse the above procedure.
Remove dust clogged in the filter by tapping it or vacuum clean it.
Wash the filter well with lukewarm water below 40ºC (104ºF) while rubbing lightly: To get better
results, wash it with soapy water or a neutral cleaning agent. Rinse the filter well using clean water,
then dry completely.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the refrigerator without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce
performance.
