3. Maintenance and care
of refrigerator
3.1 Cleaning
• Dust should be removed regularly from behind and beneath the
refrigerator to improve the cooling effect and save energy.
• Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there is no debris.
Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water
or diluted detergent.
• The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to
avoid odour.
• Turn off the power before cleaning the interior, remove all food, drinks ,shelves,
drawers, etc.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, using two
tablespoons of baking soda in a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and
wipe clean. After cleaning, open the door and let the interior dry naturally before
turning on the power.
• For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow channels,
gaps or corners), it is recommended that they are wiped regularly with a soft cloth,
soft brush, etc., and if necessary, in combination with suitable tools (such as thin
scrapers) to ensure no contaminants or bacterial accumulation in these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergent, abrasive powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may
cause odours in the interior of the refrigerator or contaminate the food.
• Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with
soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally.
• Wipe the outer surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with soapy
water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.
• Do not use hard brushes, scourers, wire brushes, abrasives (such as toothpaste),
organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or
alkaline cleaners, which may damage the refrigerator surface and interior. Boiling
water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
• Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning, to avoid short
circuits or affect electrical insulation after immersion.
Always unplug the refrigerator before defrosting and cleaning.
3.2 Defrosting
• The refrigerator must be manually defrosted.
Disconnect the plug from the wall socket, open the door, remove all the food and
put it somewhere cool. It is recommended that the frost is removed using a plastic
scraper, or let the temperature rise naturally until the frost melts. Then wipe away
the remaining ice and water, insert the plug in the socket and turn on the refrige-
rator.
Do not use any mechanical devices or other means to accelerate defrosting,
except those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the refrige-
rant circuit.
