9.Preparing for Vacation
For long vacati
o
n or absenc
e
, unplug the refrigerator a
n
d
clean the refr
i
gerator as d
e
scribed i
n
“ Cleaning a
n
d
Maintenance”. Leave the do
o
rs open to pre
v
ent formation
of m
ould
or odo
u
r.
10. Cleaning and Maintenance
Unplug or disconnect the appliance before cleaning.
Keep the outs
ide
clean. Use furn
i
ture polishe or finishing
conditioner to clean the outside regularly (do not use these
cleaners to cle an the i
n
side). Wipe the d
o
or gasket with a
cloth lightly dampened with lukewarm water. No detergent
is allo
w
ed. N
e
ver use oil or greas
e
to clean th
e
do
o
r
gasket.
Clean the inside regularly.
· Clean the refrigerator compartment on a monthly b
a
sis
and c
l
ean th
e
freezer c
o
mpartment after a d
e
frost
cycle.
· Take out foods from refrigerator
a
nd freeze
r
compartments and kept these foods in a cool place.
· Remove all detachable parts.
· Interior pa
r
ts are not suitabl
e
to be
w
ashed in a
dishwasher. W
a
sh them
m
anually us
i
ng luke warm
water an
d
s
o
me dis
h
d
e
tergent. Do
n
ot use
concentrated detergent, abrasive agents and chemicals
such as acids. Mild dish detergent is recommended.
Steam cleaners are dangerous and strictly prohibited.
Wash the inner compartment with lukewarm clean water
and dry with a soft cloth. It is absolutely dry after waiting
for 3-4 minutes. Do not destroy or remove the rating plate
of the refrigerator. It could be needed for after-sales
service or relevant processes. Make sure water doesn’t
get into electric parts in the refrigerator.
If a heat exchanger, i.e. condenser, is mounted on the
back of refrigerator, dust and lint should be removed
regularly to enable efficient heat dissipation and avoid
excessive power consumption. Use a soft brush or a
duster to clean the outside of heat exchanger.
The defrost water drains away through the gutter. The
drain hole should be cleaned regularly by use of a swab or
similar instrument.
Make sure water doesn’t run down the drain hole during
cleaning. Otherwise water may spill or splash on the
ground due to evaporation.
11. Defrosting
Freezer compartment (if applicable)
The freezer compartment, intended for storage of frozen
food, doesn’t have automatic defrosting.
The freezer compartment should be defrosted regularly.
Defrost the freezer compartment whenever the thickness
of ice layer reaches 5cm.
Unplug the refrigerator before defrosting. Take out foods
from the freezer compartment and kept these foods in a
cool place. Use an ice scraper to remove the ice. To
speed up the process, place a bowl of hot water in the
freezer compartment. Clean and reload the freezer
compartment after defrosting.
POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD!
Do not use electrical devices such as hair dryer,
electrical fan, steam cleaner, defrost spray or open fire
(such as candle) to defrost the freezer compartment.
The plastic parts of inner compartment may get
melted and any spark or open fire may cause fire in
presence of explosive gas. Never use a steam cleaner
to defrost the freezer compartment – danger of electric
shock!)
Cautions!
Take out the drawer, and wrap u
p
the fro
z
en foo
d
s with
newspaper or blanket.
·Keep these foods in a cool
p
lace before the defrosting
process is finished.
·Keep the door of freezer compartment open.
· Ice and frost form on the surface of evaporator during
operation. A thick layer of ice or frost acts as heat
insulation and hinders thermal conduction.
· Defrost the freezer compa rtment in the shortest time
possible to avoid thawing of frozen foods.
· Do not remove the ice or frost in the freezer
compartment with a sharp or pointed item. Otherwise
