Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning
Note
: The freezer should be emptied and turned off before cleaning.
Dust behind and underneath the freezer should be periodically cleaned to improve the cooling efficiency of
the freezer. The interior of the freezer should be cleaned regularly to avoid odours. Soft towels or a sponge
dipped in water and non-corrosive neutral detergents are suggested for cleaning. Dry the interior with a
soft, dry cloth and leave the door open for natural drying before the power is turned on.
Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives such as toothpastes, organic solvents
(such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline products to clean the freezer with
as this may damage the surfaces of the freezer.
Do not rinse with water as this can damage the electrical components. Please use a dry cloth when cleaning
the temperature control knob.
Defrost
The freezer must be manually defrosted.
1.
Unplug the freezer and open the freezer door.
2.
Remove all foodstuffs and shelving baskets before defrosting.
3.
Open the outflow hole and drainage hole (and place water container at the outflow hole).
4.
The interior frost will melt naturally. Wipe the defrosted water with a dry, soft cloth. When the frost softens,
an ice scraper might be used to accelerate the de-icing process.
Warning
: Other mechanical devise or other means shall not be used to accelerate the defrosting process. Do not
damage the refrigerant circuit.
Stop Using
Foods can be preserved for a couple of hours even in summer in case of a power failure; it is recommended
to reduce the frequency of opening the door and do not put fresh foods into the freezer.
If the freezer is to be left inactive for a long time, please unplug it and leave the door open to avoid a bad
odour.
Do not turn upside down or shake the freezer; the carrying angle cannot be greater than 45°.
Continuous operation is recommended when the freezer is started. Please do not stop the freezer under normal
circumstances so as not to affect the freezer’s service life.
