5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Always unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects. Regularly clean the door gaskets to ensure a tight seal.

5.2 Defrosting

This refrigerator features an automatic defrost system, minimizing the need for manual defrosting in the fresh food compartment. The freezer compartment may require occasional manual defrosting if ice buildup becomes excessive. To defrost the freezer, turn off the unit, remove all contents, and allow the ice to melt naturally. Wipe away melted water and restart the unit.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your refrigerator, consult the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Refrigerator does not operate: Check if the power cord is properly plugged into the outlet. Verify the circuit breaker or fuse. Ensure the temperature control is not set to 'OFF'.
• Temperature is not cold enough: Adjust the temperature control to a colder setting. Ensure the door is closed properly and not opened too frequently. Check for proper ventilation around the unit. Avoid overloading the refrigerator.
• Excessive noise: Ensure the refrigerator is level using the adjustable feet. Check if the unit is touching a wall or other appliance. Normal operating sounds include a slight hum from the compressor or gurgling from refrigerant flow.
• Water on the floor: Check if the drain pan is correctly positioned and not overflowing. Ensure the drain hose is not blocked.
