Defrosting and cleaning
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer defrosts automatically. No manual operation is needed.
Cleaning
The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent bad stored food odors.
For safety, unplug the power cord before cleaning the refrigerator
Clean the refrigerator with a soft cloth or sponge with warm water (can be added with mild
detergent)
Dry water droplets on the refrigerator surfaces with a dry cloth
Always keep the door gasket clean
.
Use of the cleaning filter (on some models)
The design service life is from 5 to 6 years. But as the kind and concentration of odors in each
refrigerator is uncertain due to different operation condition and environment, we recommend you
to set the replacement cycle within 3 years.
After prolonged use, you can put it under sunshine for 30 minutes to recover the deodorization
effect. To clean, please use slow water flow.
The refrigerator is very heavy. When you are moving it for cleaning or repairs, take care not to
damage the floor. Keep the refrigerator upright during moving. Do not move the refrigerator by
rocking it to avoid damage to the floor.
Do not spray or flush the refrigerator with water to avoid impact on its electrical insulation
property.
Do not clean with hard brush, wire brush, detergent powder, gasoline, amyl acetate, acetone and
similar organic solutions, warm water or acid or alkaline solutions. Please clean with special
refrigerator detergent to avoid damage.
Do not touch the cold iron parts with wet hands; otherwise your skin may stick on the cold iron
parts.
When cleaning, do not clean the cold glass shelves with warm water. Otherwise the glass may
break due to sudden temperature change and cause personal injury or property loss.
