CLEANING & CARE

Defrosting freezer

The freezer compartment will defrost automatically, with no need for manual intervention.

Cleaning

• Dust behind and on the floor around the refrigerator to improve cooling and energy saving.
• Check the door gasket regularly to ensure there is no debris within. Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or a diluted neutral detergent.
• The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid mould and odours.
• Turn off the power and remove all foods, drinks, shelves, drawers, etc. before cleaning the interior of the appliance. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two tablespoons of baking soda and a litre of warm water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. After cleaning, open the door and let the interior air dry naturally before reconnecting the power.
• For areas that are difficult to clean (such as narrow gaps or comers), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. When necessary, utilise auxiliary tools (such as wooden skewers) to ensure no contaminants or bacteria accumulate in these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergents, spray cleaners etc. as these may contaminate food or cause odours in the interior of the refrigerator.
• Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or a diluted neutral detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or air dry naturally.
• Wipe the outer surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water, detergent, etc. and then wipe dry.
• Do not use hard brushes, abrasives (such as toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items which may damage the fridge surface and interior. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
• Do not rinse the appliance directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuiting or affecting the electrical insulation of the unit.

Storage

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.
• Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer, increasing energy consumption.
• Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance to cut down on frost build-up.
• Do not line the storage bins with aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towelling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

Disposal

| This marking indicates that this appliance should not be disposed with other house-hold wastes. To prevent possible harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, recycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Failed operation| o   Ensure the unit is securely connected to the power socket
o   Check whether the voltage is too low
o   Check for a power failure or if partial circuits have tripped
---|---
Odour| o   Ensure odorous foods are tightly wrapped before storage
o   Check for any rotten food that may be inside
o   Clean the inside of the refrigerator
Excessive compressor operation| This is normal in summer when the ambient temperature is high:

o   Avoid having too much food in the appliance at once
o   Allow food to cool before being put into the appliance
o   Avoid opening the doors too frequently

Light fails to illuminate| o   Ensure the appliance is connected to power
o   Check the light for damage or a bulb failure
o   Have the light replaced by a professional
Doors cannot be properly closed| o   The door is stuck on an item inside
o   Too much food has been placed in the refrigerator
o   The refrigerator is tilted or unlevel
Loud noise| o   Ensure the floor is level and that the appliance is stable
o   Ensure accessories are placed in the correct locations
Door seal fails to be tight| o   Remove foreign matters on the door seal
o   Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (use a hair dryer or a hot towel for heating)
Water pan overflows| o   There is too much food in the chamber or the food stored contains too much water, resulting in heavy defrosting
o   The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to entry of air and increased water due to defrosting
Hot housing| Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser occurs via the housing, which is normal
Provide ample ventilation to allow for optimal heat displacement
Surface condensation| Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high Simply wipe the condensation with a clean towel.
Abnormal noise| The compressor may produce buzzing sounds during operation, which are particularly loud upon start or stop
Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may also produce a creaking noise
Both are part of the normal operation of the product
