6.1 Cleaning

• Always unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
• Clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution.

• Wipe door gaskets regularly to ensure a proper seal.
• Clean the condenser coils at the back of the unit periodically to maintain efficiency.

6.2 Manual Defrost

This refrigerator features manual defrost for the freezer compartment. When frost accumulates to about 1/4 inch (6mm) thickness, it's time to defrost:

1. Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet.
2. Remove all food items from both compartments and store them in a cooler to keep them frozen or chilled.
3. Leave the freezer door open to allow frost to melt naturally. You can place towels at the bottom to absorb water. Do not use sharp objects or heating devices to speed up defrosting, as this can damage the unit.
4. Once all frost has melted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
5. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow it to cool for a few hours before returning food.
