Defrosting-Cleaning -De-commissioning 
 

 
Defrosting the cold storage compartment 

The cold storage compartment is designed for automatic defrosting. Frost formed on the back wall 

will melt and flow via the drainpipe to the evaporating container over the compressor on the back of 

the refrigerator, where the heat generated by the compressor will evaporate the water.

Caution: Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray clear to ensure 

the normal flow of defrosted water. Use the rod provided to clear any blockages.

Cleaning 
 

The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the formation of bad odors. 

* Disconnect the power before cleaning the refrigerator. 

* Do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, gasoline or other solvents, hot water, 

acid or alkali for cleaning. 

* Wipe water drops on the surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth. 

(1) Do not use excessive amounts of water for cleaning the refrigerator 

(2) Use a dry cloth to clean the switch, the lamp and the temperature controller 

* Always keep the rubber door seal clean 

* Clean the back and sides of the refrigerator regularly. 

Cessation of Operation 
 

If the power failure lasts for an extended period, unplug the refrigerator and clean the 

refrigerator as previously described. 

Keep the door of refrigerator open when the power is turned off to prevent any food 

remaining in the compartment from producing bad odors. 

Caution: It is recommended that the refrigerator is not turned off
