Defrosting/Cleaning
Defrosting
The freezer compartment ices up when the
refrigerating system is working. A thick layer of
frost or ice will increase energy consumption.
When the layer is as thick as 4 to 6 mm, use a
plastic scraper to remove it.
Never use a metallic tool to defrost, to
protect the appliance from damage.
Unplug the appliance before defrosting.
Remove the food and ice cube tray from the
freezer compartment. Wrap foods in several
layers of newspaper and store in a cold place.
To take out the drawer, pull forward, tilt up and
remove it.
To speed up the defrosting process, place a
saucepan of warm water (water temperature
lower than 70˚C) in the refrigerator.
Never use an electric heater to defrost.
Keep the door open during defrosting. Clean
and dry the freezer with a cloth or a sponge.
Cleaning
Unplug the appliance before cleaning.
To clean the inner compartment, remove food
and shelves. Wash the inner compartment with
lukewarm water and neutral detergent. Do not
use cleansers such as soaps, scouring powder
or spray cleaners, boiled water or acid, etc.
Clean the outside of the refrigerator with a
damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
For electric safety, do not splash water directly
on the refrigerator.
Make sure that water doesn't get into electric
components as temperature regulator or illu-
minating light.
Keep the door seal clean.
For efficient operation, dirt and dust should be
removed from back and bottom of the appliance.
