Defrosting/Cleaning
Defrosting
The freezer compartment ices up when the refrigerating system is working. A thick layer of frost or ice will increase energy consumption. When the layer is as thick as 4 to 6 mm, use a plastic scraper to remove it.
Never use a metallic tool to defrost, to protect the appliance from damage.
Unplug the appliance before defrosting. Remove the food and ice cube tray from the freezer compartment. Wrap foods in several layers of newspaper and store in a cold place. To take out the drawer, pull forward, tilt up and remove it.
To speed up the defrosting process, place a saucepan of warm water (water temperature lower than 70˚C) in the refrigerator.
Never use an electric heater to defrost.
Keep the door open during defrosting. Clean and dry the freezer with a cloth or a sponge.
Cleaning
Unplug the appliance before cleaning.
To clean the inner compartment, remove food and shelves. Wash the inner compartment with lukewarm water and neutral detergent. Do not use cleansers such as soaps, scouring powder or spray cleaners, boiled water or acid, etc.
Clean the outside of the refrigerator with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
For electric safety, do not splash water directly on the refrigerator.
Make sure that water doesn’t get into electric components as temperature regulator or illu- minating light.
Keep the door seal clean.
For efficient operation, dirt and dust should be removed from back and bottom of the appliance.
