4. Maintenance and care of the refrigerator

4.1 Overall cleaning

Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and
●
energy saving.
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 refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
●
Please turn off the power before cleaning interior, remove all foods, drinks, shelves,
●
drawers, etc.
Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, 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 refrigerator (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 bacterial accumulation in these areas.
Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in the interior
●
of the refrigerator or contaminated food.
Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted
●
detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally.
Wipe the outer surface of the refrigerator 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, banana oil, 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.
Please unplug the refrigerator for defrost and cleaning.

4.2 Defrosting

The refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling principle and thus has automatic
defrosting function. Frost formed due to change of season or temperature may also
be manually removed by disconnection of the appliance from power supply
or by wiping with a dry towel.

4.3 Out of operation

Power failure: In case of power failure, even if it is in summer, foods inside the appliance can be kept for
several hours; during the power failure, the times of door opening shall be reduced, and no more fresh
food shall be put into the appliance.
Long-time nonuse: The appliance shall be unplugged and then cleaned; then the doors are left open
to prevent odor.
Moving: Before the refrigerator is moved, take all objects inside out, fix the glass partitions, vegetable holder,
freezing chamber drawers and etc. with tape, and tighten the leveling feet; close the doors and seal them
with tape. During moving, the appliance shall not be laid upside down or horizontally, or be vibrated;
the inclination during movement shall be no more than 45°.
The appliance shall run continuously once it is started. Generally, the operation of the appliance
shall not be interrupted; or otherwise the service life may be impaired
