Care and Maintenance

 

 

 

To keep your domestic refrigerator operating efficiently and safely, periodic inspection and 

cleaning of several components once a month is recommended.

 

 

Cleaning your refrigerator

 

- For safety reason, switch off and unplug the appliance from outlet before cleaning. 

Remove by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

 

- Remove the shelf and wipe down. Place it in a secure place, and replace it after the interior 

of the refrigerator has been wiped clean.

 

- Wipe the inside and the outside of the refrigerator with a damp cloth, using 

lukewarm water.

 

- If the refrigerator is very dirty, wipe it with a neutral detergent first, then use a clean cloth 

to dry it.

 

- Do not use other types of detergents, cleaners, abrasive powder or solvents which may 

contain chemicals that could damage the lacquer coat and plastic surface of

 

the refrigerator.

 

 

Care of Plastic Parts

 

- Ensure that the rubber door gasket is kept clean and free from dirt, grease, etc. Inspect 

regularly to ensure it is clean.

 

- If the plastic parts of the refrigerator are contaminated by oil/grease (animal or vegetable) 

for a long time, they will age more quickly and can become brittle and crack easily. They 

will also emit bad smell. Therefore, you should get the habit of cleaning it regularly.

 

 

Cleaning condenser

 

Dust accumulation on the condenser increases energy consumption.

 

The condenser at the back of the refrigerator should be carefully cleaned once a year with a 

soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.

 

 

Notes: 

After cleaning the refrigerator; check the following points:

 

- Is the power supply cord and the plug broken?

 

- Is the plug set properly?

 

- Is the earthing wire loose?

 

- Is there a block on the drainage outlet?

 

- Is it properly installed?

 

 

In case of power failure

 

- Do not place foods in refrigerator and minimize the times the door is opened.

 

- Due to the increase of temperature in the refrigerator chamber, it is recommended to use 

the foods as soon as possible to prevent them from spoiling.
