Maintenance
•
The refrigerator should be cleaned and maintained once a month.
•
When performing maintenance, make sure the power plug is first disconnected from the
power outlet.
•
Wipe the inner and outer surface of the refrigerator and its accessories with wet cloth. If
the surfaces are too dirty, scrub them with neutral detergents and then clean with water
and dry with a clean cloth. A small amount of window wax is recommended to polish the
refrigerator surface with a soft cotton fabric.
•
For cleaning, do not use hot water, petrol, alcohol, kerosene, washing powder, cleanser,
alkaline detergent, acid, chemical cloth, etc., so as not to damage the lacquer coat and
plastic. Do not spray directly with water; this may cause rust or weaken the insulation.
•
Be sure to keep the sealing rubber bars of the door clean or they will age and crack.
•
Be sure to clean the drain tray frequently to avoid refrigerator odors.
