9.Preparing for Vacation

For long vacation or absence, unplug the refrigerator and
clean the refrigerator as described in "Cleaning and
Maintenance". Leave the doors open to prevent formation
of mildew or odor.
10. Cleaning and Maintenance
Unplug or disconnect the appliance before cleaning.
Keep the outside clean. Use furniture polisher or finishing
conditioner to clean the outside regularly (do not use these
cleaners to clean the inside). Wipe the door gasket with a
cloth lightly dampened with lukewarm water. No detergent
is allowed. Never use oil or grease to clean the door
gasket.
Clean the inside regularly.
· Clean the refrigerator compartment on a monthly basis
and clean the freezer compartment after a defrost
cycle.
· Take out foods
compartments and kept these foods in a cool place.
· Remove all detachable parts.
· Interior parts are not suitable to be washed in a
dishwasher. Wash them manually using lukewarm
water and some
concentrated detergent, abrasive agents and chemicals
such as acids. Mild dish detergent is recommended.
Steam cleaners are dangerous and strictly prohibited.
Wash the inner compartment with lukewarm clean water
and dry with a soft cloth. It is absolutely dry after waiting
for 3-4 minutes. Do not destroy or remove the rating plate
of the refrigerator. It could be needed for after-sales
service or relevant processes. Make sure water doesn't
from refrigerator and
dish detergent. Do
get into electric parts in the refrigerator. If a heat
exchanger, i.e. condenser, is mounted on the back of
refrigerator, dust and lint should be removed regularly to
enable efficient heat dissipation and avoid excessive
power consumption. Use a soft brush or a duster to clean
the outside of heat exchanger.
The defrost water drains away through the gutter. The
drain hole should be cleaned regularly by use of a swab or
similar instrument.
Make sure water doesn't run down the drain hole during
cleaning. Otherwise water may spill or splash on the
ground due to evaporation.

11. Defrosting

Freezer compartment (if applicable)
The freezer compartment, intended for storage of frozen
food, doesn't have automatic defrosting.
The freezer compartment should be defrosted regularly.
Defrost the freezer compartment whenever the thickness
of ice layer reaches 5cm.
Unplug the refrigerator before defrosting. Take out foods
from the freezer compartment and kept these foods in a
cool place. Use an ice scraper to remove the ice. To
speed up the process, place a bowl of hot water in the
freezer compartment. Clean and reload the freezer
compartment after defrosting.
POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD!
Do not use electrical devices such as hair dryer,
electrical fan, steam cleaner, defrost spray or open fire
(such as candle) to defrost the freezer compartment.
The plastic parts of inner compartment may get
melted and any spark or open fire may cause fire in
presence of explosive gas. Never use a steam cleaner
to defrost the freezer compartment – danger of electric
freezer
shock!)
Cautions!
Take out the drawer, and wrap up the frozen foods with
newspaper or blanket.
not use
·Keep these foods in a cool place before the defrosting
process is finished.
·Keep the door of freezer compartment open.
· Ice and frost form on the surface of evaporator during
operation. A thick layer of ice or frost acts as heat
insulation and hinders thermal conduction.
· Defrost the freezer compartment in the shortest time
possible to avoid thawing of frozen foods.
· Do not remove the ice or frost in the freezer
compartment with a sharp or pointed item. Otherwise
