Silent Operation and Energy Efficiency

Maintenance
Cleaning the Interior and Exterior
Regular cleaning helps maintain the hygiene and efficiency of your refrigerator. Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild, non-abrasive detergent to clean the interior walls, shelves, and door seal. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Dry all surfaces thoroughly before plugging the unit back in.
Defrosting
This refrigerator features a semi-automatic defrosting system. Frost buildup on the evaporator plate is normal. When the frost layer becomes thick (approximately 3-5 mm), unplug the unit and allow the frost to melt naturally. Place a towel at the bottom to absorb water. Do not use sharp objects to remove frost.
Shelf Care
The metal shelves can be removed for easier cleaning. Wash them with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry completely before placing them back into the refrigerator.
