MAINTENANCE

Defrosting and cleaning
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer defrosts automatically. No manual operation is needed.
Cleaning
The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent bad stored food odors.
For safety, unplug the power cord before cleaning the refrigerator.
Clean the refrigerator with a soft cloth or sponge with warm water (mild detergent may be
added).
Clear away droplets on the refrigerator surfaces with a dry soft cloth.
Always keep the door gasket clean.
The refrigerator is very heavy. When you are moving it for cleaning or repairs, take
care not to damage the floor. Keep the refrigerator upright during moving. Do not
move the refrigerator by rocking it to avoid damage to the floor.
Do not spray or flush the refrigerator with water to avoid impact on its electrical
insulation property.
Do not clean with hard brush, wire brush, detergent powder, gasoline, amyl acetate,
acetone and similar organic solutions, acid or alkaline solutions. Please clean with
special refrigerator detergent to avoid damage or warm water and a mild detergent.
Do not touch the cold metal parts with wet hands; otherwise your skin may stick on
the cold metal parts.
When cleaning, do not clean the cold glass shelves with warm water. Otherwise the
glass may break due to sudden temperature change and cause personal injury or
property loss.
Measures on power interruption
Even in summer, food may be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours after a power
interruption. If a power interruption occurs, please call the power company to ask about the
interruption duration.
Do not put additional food into the refrigerator during a power interruption and try to open
the door as few times as possible.
If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption duration is over 24 hours,
make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the fridge storage compartment.
As temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power interruption or other
failures, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced.
