Maintenance And Cleaning; Simple Fault Analysis And Elimination - Candy MINI CITY COMBI E Mode D'emploi

Maintenance and cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug the power plug
first; Do not plug in or plug out the plug with wet
hand, because there is a risk of electric shock and
injury. Do not spill water directly on the
refrigerator, to avoid rust, electricity leakage and
accidents. Do not stretch your hands into the
bottom of the refrigerator, since you might be
scratched by sharp metal corners.
Internal cleaning and external cleaning
The food residuals in the refrigerator are liable to
produce bad odor, so the refrigerator must be
cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is
usually cleaned once a month.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks,
cover board, and drawers etc., and clean them
with a soft towel or sponge dipped in warm water
or neutral detergent.
Clear off the dusts accumulated on the rear panel
and side plates of the refrigerator often.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean
water, and then wipe it dry.
Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush,
detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent,
benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other
corrosive or soluble items to cleanse the cabinet
surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts,
etc., so as to avoid damage.
Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the
groove using a wooden chopstick wrapped with
cotton string. After the cleaning, fix the four
corners of the door gasket first, and then embed
it segment by segment into the door groove.
Interruption of power supply or failure of the
refrigerating system
•Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an
extended non-running of the refrigerating
appliance (such as interruption of power supply
or failure of the refrigerating system).
•Try to open the refrigerator door as less as
possible, in this way can food safely and freshly
kept for hours even in hot summer.
•If you get the power outage notice in advance：
1) Adjust the thermostat knob to the high mode
an hour in advance; so that foods get fully
frozen (Do not store new food during this
time!). Restore the temperature mode to the
original setting when power supply becomes
normal in a timely manner.
2) You can also make ice with a watertight
container, and put it in the upper part of the
freezer, so as to extend the time for fresh
food to be stored.
Note: Once the refrigerator is used, you'd
better use it continuously; and under normal
circumstance, do not stop its use, so as not to
affect the service life.
Defrosting
After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be
formed on the freezer compartment inner wall
(or evaporator) surface, which may affect the
refrigeration effect if exceeding 5mm in
thickness. In such case, you need to gently scrape
the frost off using an ice scraper rather than the
metal or sharp hardware. Frosts need to be
cleared off every 3 months or so, and if the
normal use of drawers and normal access of
foods are affected by frosting, make sure to
remove the frosts in a timely manner. Follow the
following steps to remove frosts:
1. Take out the frozen foods, shut off the mains
power supply, open the refrigerator door,
and gently remove the frosts from the inner
wall with an ice scraper. To speed up the
thawing process, you are suggested to place
a bowl of hot water inside the
refrigerator/freezer, and when the solid ice
frosts become loose, use an ice scraper to
scrape them off and then take them out.
2. After defrosting, clean the
refrigerator/freezer inside, and switch on the
power supply.
Changing the lamp
The LED lamp is used by the refrigerator for
lighting, which features low energy consumption
and long service life. In case of any abnormality,
please contact the after-sales personnel for
visiting service. The lamps can only be replaced
by the manufacturer, together with a part of the
appliance
Safety-check after maintenance
Is the power cord broken or damaged?
Is the power plug firmly inserted into the socket?
Is the power plug abnormally overheat?
Note: Electric shock and fire accident
may be caused in case the power cord and plugs
damaged or stained by dust. If any abnormality,
please unplug the power plug and get in contact
with the vendor.
