4. MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF REFRIGERATOR
4.1 GENERAL CLEANING
• Dust should be removed regularly from behind and
beneath the refrigerator to improve the cooling effect and
save energy.
• Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there is 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
odour.
• Turn off the power before cleaning the interior, remove all food,
drinks, shelves, drawers, etc.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, using
two tablespoons of baking soda in a litre of warm water. Then rinse
with water and wipe clean. After cleaning, open the door and let the
interior dry naturally before turning on the power.
• For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow
channels, gaps or corners), it is recommended that they are wiped
regularly with a soft cloth, soft brush, etc., and if necessary, in
combination with suitable tools (such as thin scrapers) to ensure no
contaminants or bacterial accumulation in these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergent, abrasive powder, spray cleaner, etc., as
these may cause odours in the interior of the refrigerator or
contaminate the food.
• Clean the bottle trays, 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, scourers, wire brushes, abrasives (such as
toothpaste), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil,
etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline cleaners, which may damage the
refrigerator 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.
Always unplug the refrigerator before defrosting and cleaning.
