6. Defrosting
■ After the refrigerator working for a period, frost could be seen on surfaces in the freezer,
which reduces cooling performanceand increases power consumption. In this case, you
need to defrost it.
■ Unplug the refrigerator and open the doors, take the food in the refrigerator to cool place.
Use defrosting shovel to remove ice and frost (also can just let the door open, then ice and
frost will be thawed by the raising temperature). Then use dishtowel to wipe off the ice
water. After that, place the food back to the refrigerator and plug in.
Note: Do not use sharp metal tools to defrost, you will possibly break the coil by doing
so.
7. Care and cleaning
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning!
■
Use soft cloth dampened with warm water to wipe the inner surfaces and external
appearance of the refrigerator.
■
Use neutral detergent to clean the heavy stains, and dry with clean soft cloth.
■
For long vacation or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the
refrigerator and leave the doors open a little. Then place the refrigerator in ventilated
place.
NOTE: Do not sprinkle water on the refrigerator during cleaning because that would
reduce the insulating property of electrical components and erode the metal parts.
■
Do not use cleansers containing corrosive and deliquescent material ( such as
scouring powder, bleach, soap powder, alkaline cleansers, benzene, gasoline, acid,
hot water and etc.) to clean the appearance panels, door gaskets and plastic
parts.
Following situations are normal
■
The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
■
In the raining and high humidity weather, moisture may form on the outside of
refrigerator or door gaskets. You can wipe damp surfaces with drycloth.
■
The temperature on the back panel may be high (particularly in summer) due to heat
emission of the condenser.
■
The temperature on external surface of the compressor may be high when compressor
is working.
■
The compressor may cause a high hum or pulsating sound when it is at starting or
stopping step.
■
It's normal to hear metal hit noise from compressor when refrigerator is bumped.
