Defrosting

maintenance.

  Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent or wax 

polish for cleaning. 

y

  Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the appliance and wipe it dry. 

y

  Never clean the appliance with flammable fluids.  It could cause a damage and fire hazard. 

y

  Clean the exterior of the appliance and door seal with a damp cloth and dry it through. 

y

  Avoid water goes in the temperature control box.  Clean with a dry cloth only. 

y

  When the appliance is unplugged please wait for 5 minutes before plugging it in again. Otherwise, the 

compressor will be overloaded. 

y

  Do not store bottled or canned drinks (especially carbonated drinks) in the freezer compartment. 

Bottles and cans may explode! 

y

  Avoid prolonged touching of frozen food, ice or the inner freezer walls or tubing etc. Risk of frost burns 

to the skin. 

 

y

  The appliance require defrosting once or twice a year when ice layer thickness reaches 5~10mm.  

Unplug the appliance from the mains before defrosting. 

y

  Remove all frozen food from the freezer and roll it firmly in newspapers.  Put it into a container in a 

cool place for temporary storage. 

y

  Use an ice scraper (not provided) or similar tool to remove the ice layer.  This process can be speed 

up by placing a pot of warm water inside the freezer. 

y

  Open the drain hole cap to empty the defrosting water. 

y

  Clean the freezer according to the steps above. 

y

  Turn on the freezer and set to maximum temperature.  Refill the frozen food to freezer. 

y

  This process should be completed within 2 hours. 

 

 
In case there is a power failure, you should contact the electricity supply company and take the following 
actions: 
 
If it is last within 24 hours, keep the doors closed. This will allow the stored food to stay cold as long as 
possible. 
If it is last more than 24 hours, it is advised to empty the freezer compartment and temporarily store the 
food in a portable freezer or using artificial ice packs.  Try to use up the food which is more easily 
perishable. 
 
Remarks: Full appliance will stay cold longer than a partially filled one. 
If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be frozen again, although flavour and aroma may be 
affected. If food is found to be in a poor condition, it is best to throw it away. 

 

Short vacation 

There is no need to disconnect the appliance from the mains if you will be away for two to three weeks. 
Use up the perishable food.
