6. Care & Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and efficiency. Always unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
- Clean the interior with a soft cloth dampened with a solution of mild detergent and warm water.
- The glass shelves and crisper drawer are removable for easy cleaning.
- Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Clean the condenser coils at the back of the unit periodically to ensure efficient cooling.
6.2 Defrosting
This refrigerator features manual defrost. Frost buildup in the freezer compartment can reduce efficiency.
- When frost accumulation reaches about 0.2 inches (5mm) thick, it's time to defrost.
- Unplug the refrigerator and remove all food items. Store frozen items in a cooler.
- 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.
- Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly before plugging the unit back in and returning food.
