CLEANING & CARE

Defrosting freezer

The freezer compartment will defrost automatically, with no need for manual intervention.

Cleaning

Dust behind and on the floor around the refrigerator to improve cooling and energy saving.
Check the door gasket regularly to ensure there is no debris within. Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or a diluted neutral detergent.
The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid mould and odours.
Turn off the power and remove all foods, drinks, shelves, drawers, etc. before cleaning the interior of the appliance. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two tablespoons of baking soda and a litre of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. After cleaning, open the door and let the interior air dry naturally before reconnecting the power.
For areas that are difficult to clean (such as narrow gaps or comers), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. When necessary, utilise auxiliary tools (such as wooden skewers) to ensure no contaminants or bacteria accumulate in these areas.
Do not use soap, detergents, spray cleaners etc. as these may contaminate food or cause odours in the interior of the refrigerator.
Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or a diluted neutral detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or air 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, abrasives (such as toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items which may damage the fridge surface and interior. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
Do not rinse the appliance directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuiting or affecting the electrical insulation of the unit.

Storage

The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.
Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer, increasing energy consumption.
Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance to cut down on frost build-up.
Do not line the storage bins with aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towelling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
