MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning, unplug the power plug first; Do not plug in or plug out the plug
with wet hand, because there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill
water directly on the refrigerator, to avoid rust, electricity leakage and accidents.
Do not stretch your hands into the bottom of the refrigerator, since you might be
scratched by sharp metal corners.
Internal cleaning and external cleaning
The food residuals in the refrigerator are liable to produce bad odor, so the refrigerator must
be cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is usually cleaned once a month.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks, cover board, and drawers etc., and clean them
with a soft towel or sponge dipped in warm water or neutral detergent.
Clear off the dusts accumulated on the rear panel and side plates of the refrigerator often.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean water, and then wipe it dry.
Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline
detergent, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other corrosive or soluble
items to cleanse the cabinet surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc.,
so as to avoid damage.
Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the groove using a wooden chopstick wrapped with
cotton string. After the cleaning, fix the four corners of the door gasket first, and then embed it
segment by segment into the door groove.
Interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system
 Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an extended non-running of the refrigerating
appliance (such as interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system).
 Try to open the refrigerator door as less as possible, in this way can food safely and freshly
kept for hours even in hot summer.
 If you get the power outage notice in advance:
1) Adjust the thermostat knob to the high mode an hour in advance, so that foods get fully
frozen (Do not store new food during this time!). Restore the temperature mode to the
original setting when power supply becomes normal in a timely manner.
2) You can also make ice with a watertight container, and put it in the upper part of the freezer,
so as to extend the time for fresh food to be stored.
Note: Once the refrigerator is used, you'd better use it continuously; and under
normal circumstance, do not stop its use, so as not to affect the service life.
Defrosting
After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be formed on the freezer compartment inner wall
(or evaporator) surface, which may affect the refrigeration effect if exceeding 5mm in
thickness. In such case, you need to gently scrape the frost off using an ice scraper rather
than the metal or sharp hardware. Frosts need to be cleared off every 3 months or so, and if
the normal use of drawers and normal access of foods are affected by frosting, make sure to
remove the frosts in a timely manner. Follow the following steps to remove frosts:
1. Take out the frozen foods, shut off the mains power supply, open the refrigerator door, and
gently remove the frosts from the inner wall with an ice scraper. To speed up the thawing
process, you are suggested to place a bowl of hot water inside the refrigerator/freezer, and
when the solid ice frosts become loose, use an ice scraper to scrape them off and then
take them out.
2. After defrosting, clean the refrigerator/freezer inside, and switch on the power supply.
