Regular cleaning of your refrigerator is essential for hygiene and optimal performance.
- Interior: Clean the interior with a mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry thoroughly. Remove shelves and drawers for separate cleaning if necessary.

- Defrosting: As this is a Direct Cool refrigerator, manual defrosting will be required when ice buildup in the freezer compartment becomes excessive (approximately 5mm thickness). Turn off the refrigerator, remove all food items, and allow the ice to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.
Power Saving Tips
- Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently or leave it open for extended periods.
- Allow hot food to cool down before placing it inside the refrigerator.
- Ensure the door seal is clean and intact to prevent cold air leakage.
- Place the refrigerator in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
