ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Always disconnect the power supply to the unit prior to any repair or maintenance
of the unit in
order to prevent electric shock or injury.
Ensure you do not inhale or consume medication or aerosols
from around the unit at the time of
maintenance. These may be harmful to your health.
CAUTION
Always put on the dry gloves to protect the hands
at the time of maintenance. No gloves may cause
cut of the finger by the edge or corner.
Cleaning of cabinet
Clean the unit once a month. Regular cleaning keeps the unit looking new.
Use a dry cloth to wipe off small amounts of dirt on the outside and inside of the unit and all accessories.
If the outside panels are dirty, clean them with a diluted neutral dishwashing detergent. (Undiluted
detergent can damage the plastic components. For the dilution, refer to the instruction of the detergent.)
After the cleaning with the diluted detergent, always wipe it off with a wet cloth. Then wipe off the cabinet
or accessories with a dry cloth.
Never pour water onto or into the unit. Doing so can damage the electric insulation and cause failure.
The compressor and other mechanical parts are completely sealed. This unit requires absolutely no
lubrication.

Defrost the freezer whenever one of the defrost marks shown by 12 in the figure on page 9 is hidden by
frost.
Use the scraper provided for removing the frost if the freezer operation must be continued. Pay attention
not to impact or damage the inner wall.
