Interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system.
•
Take care of the frozen
/chilled
foods in the event of an extended non-
running of the
refrigerating appliance (such as interruption
of power supply
or failure of the
refrigerating system).
•
Try to open the refrigerator door as l
ittle
as possible, in this way food
can
safely and freshly
be
kept for hours even in hot
weather
.
If you get the power outage notice in advance
:
•
Adjust the thermostat knob to the highest mode an hour in advance, so that
foods get fully frozen
/chilled
(Do not store new food during this time!). Restore
the
temperature mode to the original setting when power supply becomes
normal in
a timely manner.
•
You can also make ice with watertight containers, and then put it in the upper
part of the fridge and freezer, so as to extend the time for fresh/frozen food to
be
stored.
N
ote: Once the refrigerator is used, yo
u are advised to
use it
continuously; and under normal circumstance, do not stop its use,
so as not to affect the service life.
Defrosting
•
After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be formed on the freezer
compartment inner wall surface, which may affect the refrigeration effect if
exceeding 5mm in thickness. In such case, you need to gently scrape the frost
off using an ice scraper rather than
any
metal or sharp hardware.
•
Frost
need
s
to be cleared off every 3 months or so, and if the normal use of
drawers
and normal access of foods are affected by frosting, make sure to
remove the frost in a timely manner.
Follow the following steps to remove frost build up:
•
Take out the frozen foods
making sure it is either well insulated in paper or
towels to avoid defrosting.
•
S
hut off the mains power supply, open the
freezer
door, and gently remove the
frost
build up
from the inner wall with an
ice
scraper.
•
To speed up the thawing process
if you have excessive frost/ice build up
you
are
advised
to place a bowl of hot water inside the freezer,
close the door for
a
short time
and when the solid ice frosts become loose, use an
ice
scraper to
scrape them off and then take them out.
•
After defrosting, clean the refrigerator/freezer inside, and switch on the
power
supply.
