Maintenance Features:

Cleaning:
- Always disconnect power before cleaning.
- Avoid water on switches, control panels, and door lights.
- Use a mild cleaner and soft cloth for exterior dirt.
- Clean door sealing strips with clean water and a dry cloth.
- Do not rinse the refrigerator directly with water.
- Avoid metal cloths, abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline detergents, or flammable/toxic cleaning fluids.
- Clean the refrigerator body and dust from the floor regularly (monthly recommended).
- Promptly clean oil or oily food soup stains to prevent corrosion and cracking of the coating.
Defrosting: Automatic defrosting function, no manual operation required.
Vacation: For short vacations, leave the refrigerator running with storable food. For longer periods, remove all food, unplug, clean thoroughly, and leave the door open to prevent odors.
Troubleshooting: The manual provides a table for common faults, possible causes, and remedial actions, such as checking power connections, closing doors completely, and ensuring the appliance is level.
Compressor Heat: It is normal for the compressor's external temperature to exceed 80°C during operation; avoid touching it.
Dew Drops: Formation of dew drops on the outside of the refrigerator is normal in high humidity or rainy conditions; wipe with a dry cloth.
Noise: Initial operation may be louder due to rapid cooling; noise levels decrease once the internal temperature stabilizes. Expansion/contraction of parts and control device operations can also cause normal sounds.
Electrical Safety: Regularly check for damage to the power line and plug, dust on the plug, abnormal heat, loose sockets, and ensure the plug is fully inserted. Wait 5 minutes after disconnecting before plugging back in.
