Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe the stainless‑steel exterior regularly with a soft microfiber cloth to preserve its finish and remove fingerprints or marks.
-
Ensure the unit has the required clearances around it (e.g., sides, top, rear) so that internal ventilation is not blocked and cooling efficiency remains optimal.
-
Clean the interior regularly: remove shelves and bins, wash with warm soapy water, dry completely before reinserting, and wipe the interior surfaces with a damp cloth.
-
Use the humidity control slides in the crisper bins to tailor environments for fruits and vegetables, helping them stay fresh longer.
-
Keep door seals (gaskets) clean and inspect them for damage or warping so the doors close properly and cold air stays in.
-
Arrange food so that air vents inside the fridge are not blocked — good airflow helps maintain even temperature and prevents frost buildup.
-
If the model has an ice maker or water line, make sure the water supply is intact, the ice bin is inserted correctly, and the water input and connections are not clogged or bent.
-
Periodically check for and clear any debris or liquid at the drain outlet (if present) to ensure defrost water or condensation can flow out and avoid unwanted moisture buildup.
-
For any unusual sounds, noises, persistent alarms or temperature fluctuations, have a qualified service technician inspect the unit.
