CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply before ndertaking any routine
maintenance. Allow at least 5 minutes before
restarting the appliance, as frequent starting may
damage the compressor.
Hold the plug, not the cable, when unplugging
the appliance.
Do not scrape off frost and ice with sharp
objects. Do not use sprays, electric heaters
like heater, hair dryer, steam cleaners or other
sources of heat in order to avoid damage to the
plastic parts.
Eliminate the dust on the back of the unit at least
once in the year to avoid hazard by fire, as well as
increased energy consumption.
Check the door gasket regularly to make sure
there are no debris. Clean the door gasket with a
soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted
detergent.
The interior of the product should be cleaned
regularly to avoid odor.
Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside
of the product, with two tablespoons of baking
soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with
water and wipe clean. After cleaning, open the
door and let it dry naturally before turning on
the power.
For areas that are difficult to clean in the product
(such as narrow sandwiches, gaps or corners),
it is recommended to wipe them regularly with
a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary,
combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin
sticks) to ensure no contaminants or bacterials
accumulation in these areas.
Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray
cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in the
interior of the product or contaminated food.
Wipe the outer surface of the product with a soft
cloth dampened with soapy water, detergent,
etc., and then wipe dry.
Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire
brushes, abrasives (such as toothpastes), organic
solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, isoamyl
acetate, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline
items, which may damage the fridge 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.
ATTENTION
The appliance shall run continuously once
it is started. Generally, the operation of the
appliance shall not be interrupted; otherwise
the service life may be impaired
Defrosting
Although this appliance automatically defrosts,
a layer of frost may occur on the freezer
compartment's interior walls if the freezer door is
opened frequently or kept open too long. If the
frost is too thick, choose a time when the supply
of food stocks are low and proceed as follows:
Remove existing food and accessories baskets,
unplug the appliance from the mains power
and leave the doors open. Ventilate the room
thoroughly to accelerate the thawing process.
When defrosting is completed, clean your freezer
as described above.
CAUTION!
Don't use sharp objects to remove frost from
the freezer.
Only after the interior completely dry should
the appliance be switched back on and
plugged back into the mains socket.
