Maintenance Tips
-
Unplug before cleaning: Always disconnect power before cleaning the interior to avoid electrical shock.
-
Clean interior regularly: Remove shelves and wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution; dry fully before restocking.
-
Wipe exterior & shelves: Clean the outside cabinet and glass/door shelves with mild detergent and warm water; avoid abrasive cleaners.
-
Use automatic defrost: Automatic defrost means no manual defrosting is needed; still, minimize heavy frost for best cooling.
-
Check & adjust leveling legs: Keep the unit level so doors seal properly and minimize vibration.
-
Organize for airflow: Don’t overpack; allow space for air circulation around food and beverages.
-
Reduce door openings: Frequent openings force the compressor to run longer and can affect temperature recovery.
-
Maintain gasket and door seals: Clean the door gasket with a damp cloth so it seals tightly and reduces energy loss.
-
Long‑term shutdown: If unused for months, remove food, unplug and dry interior thoroughly; leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odors.
