5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your refrigerator.

5.1 Cleaning

• Interior: Clean the interior regularly with a mild, food-safe detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly to prevent odors and bacterial growth. Remove shelves and shelf supports for easier cleaning.
• Exterior: Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
• Door Seals: Inspect and clean door seals regularly to ensure a tight seal. A damaged or dirty seal can lead to energy loss and inefficient cooling.

5.2 Condenser Coil Cleaning

• The condenser coils, typically located at the rear or bottom of the unit, should be cleaned periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) to remove dust and debris.

• If excessive ice buildup occurs, manually defrost the unit.
• Unplug the refrigerator and remove all contents. Leave the door open to allow ice to melt naturally.
• Do not use sharp objects or heating devices to accelerate defrosting, as this can damage the cooling system.
• Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior before restarting the unit.
