5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance and efficiency of your refrigerator.
- Interior: Unplug the unit. Wash the interior surfaces and removable shelves with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before plugging the unit back in.

5.4 Long-Term Storage
If the refrigerator will not be used for an extended period:
