7. Maintenance of refrigerator
Always disconnect the refrigerator from the power source before
you clean or service it.
Never use a brush, powder soap, cleanser, acid, benzene,
gasoline, or mineral thinners to clean the refrigerator, as these
tend to leave scratches on the plastic coating and painting
Due to the humidity within the cabinet, frost will form on the
evaporator surface after it has been used for a while.
Frost with as thick as 6mm or more (1/4in) will reduce cooling
efficiency. To avoid this, the evaporator needs to be defrosted
regularly.
To defrost, turn off and unplug the refrigerator to allow for complete
removal of frost from the evaporator.
• Clean the interior with a cloth moistened with warm water and wipe
again with a dry cloth.
• Clean the door of the refrigerator with a wet cloth.
• Clean the interior condenser to remove dirt (dust etc.) at regular
intervals.
