6. Defrosting
■ After the refrigerator has been running, frost could be seen on surfaces in the freezer,
which reduces the refrigerating effect and increases power consumption. In the 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 (or you can just leave the door open and the
ice and frost will be thawed by the raising temperature). Then use a 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 which will damage the refrigerator.
7. Care and cleaning
Unplug the fridge 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 any heavy stains, and dry with clean soft cloth.
■
For long vacation or absences, remove food and unplug the fridge . Clean and leave
the lid open to properly dry out. Then place the refrigerator in a ventilated location.
NOTE: Do not sprinkle water on the fridge during cleaning because that would
reduce the insulating properties of the 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.
8.
The 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 fridge or
door gaskets. You can wipe damp surfaces with dry cloth.
■
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 fridge is bumped.
