4.2 DEFROSTING
• Unplug the power cord.
• Remove all the food from the refrigerator and put it somewhere cool
to prevent it from spoiling, then prepare a water container to catch
defrosting water.
• It is recommended that you use a dry towel to mop up defrosting
water from the interior and evaporator, then wring out the towel.
Repeat this step until defrosting is completed.
• You can let the frost melt naturally, or use an ice scraper to remove
the frost (use a plastic or wooden scraper to avoid damaging the
interior).
• You can also use a tray of hot water to speed up the defrosting
process, and use a dry towel to mop up the water after defrosting.
• Put all the food back in the refrigerator and turn the power back on.
4.3 WHEN NOT IN USE
• Power failure: In the event of a power cut, food can be preserved
inside the refrigerator for several hours, even in summer. While the
power is off, you should open the door as infrequently as possible
and avoid placing any more fresh food in the refrigerator.
• Long-term non-use: Unplug the refrigerator and clean it, then leave
the door open to prevent odours from developing.
• Moving: Before moving the refrigerator, remove all the food from
inside and secure the glass partitions, vegetable holder, freezing
compartment drawers etc. with tape. Raise the levelling feet, close
the door and secure it with tape. During moving, do not lay the
refrigerator upside down or horizontally, or subject it to vibration. Do
not tilt the refrigerator by more than 45º. Do not lift the refrigerator by
the door or hinge when moving it.
Let the refrigerator run continuously after you turn it back on. Try to avoid
turning the refrigerator on and off during normal use, as this can affect
the refrigerator’s service life.
