Maintenance Tips
-
Keep ventilation openings clear and clean dust from condenser vents to maintain cooling efficiency.
-
Set the fridge to around +4 °C and the freezer to –18 °C; avoid over-packing shelves for proper airflow.
-
Clean the interior monthly: remove shelves/drawers, wash with lukewarm water and mild soap, rinse, and dry. Avoid abrasive or chlorine cleaners.
-
Inspect and clean door gaskets regularly to ensure proper sealing and energy efficiency.
-
Use the built-in “No Frost” feature; if ice builds up, unplug, let ice melt naturally, and clean the drain channel.
-
When unused for long periods: turn off, remove food, clean thoroughly, and leave the door slightly open to prevent odors and mold.
-
Use only genuine parts or authorized service for repairs to avoid voiding the warranty.
