CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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.
Cleaning inside the fridge
After defrosting you should clean the fridge internally with a weak solution
of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or
cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are
completely dry before replacing in the fridge.
Cleaning outside the fridge
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the fridge
exterior. The grille of the condenser at the back of the fridge and the adjacent
components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the
fridge
Moving the fridge
Location: Do not place your fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg. Cooker, boiler
or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
Vacation time
• Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
• Remove all the food.
• Clean the refrigerator.
• Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold,
or odours.
• Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible
