CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Switch off the electrical supply and remove the plug from the socket before
cleaning.
Defrosting
Frost might build up in the unit after it has been used for a period of time. Scrape
away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included).
Important:
Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost,
nor should you use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.
We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds
up to 10mm (~0.39”). Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low,
follow these procedures:
1. Take out the food, turn the unit off at the mains supply and leave the door
open. Ideally, the frozen food should be put into another freezer. If this is not
possible, wrap the food in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and
then a thick blanket to keep it cool.
2. Place a dry towel at the foot of the unit. Scrape away the frost using the plastic
scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost can be sped up by placing a bowl of
hot water inside the unit and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens,
scrape it away with the plastic scraper and remove. Wring out the soaked
towel as needed.
3. When defrosting is complete, clean the unit’s interior and exterior.
Interior
Note:
The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
1. Remove all food from the appliance and cover to help keep cool.
2. Remove all the shelves and salad crisper carefully from the appliance and
wash in warm clean water with a soft cloth and dry thoroughly. Never
replace the shelves or salad crisper into the appliance if wet.
3. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two
tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Rinse with water and
wipe clean.
4. For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow
sandwiches, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with
a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary
tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminant accumulation in these
areas.
