Question: How to clean our refrigerator

When we use the refrigerator, we should clean it every few months, special in summer, we should clean it every month.

There are some benefits:

Note：Unplug the refrigerator from the power supply before cleaning.

Step 1.

Take out of the food stored in the refrigerator and put it in a cool place. Open the freezer compartment door to allow

the freezer to defrost. If the ice is thick, you can put a tray full of hot  water in the freezer compartment.

Step 2. clean the fridge compartment

Prepare a cleaning solution mixed with warm water. Use a sponge or soft cloth, dampened

with the cleaning solution, to wipe down the refrigerator compartment, including shelves, liner,

vegetable box, bottle rack and door pockets.

Note:1) If there is the ice on the back of liner, please wipe down.

         2) If there has bad smell in refrigerator compartment, please spray 1 or 2 times with

             white vinegar or dilute lemon juice or a non toxic cleaner.

         3) Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,concentrated

             detergents,solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve,

             damage and /or discolor the refrigerator.

         4) Check the drain hole,and make sure it is not blocked. If blocked clean it by using

             cleaning stick or a straw.

         If you can't find the hole when you pull out the shelves and drawers, it means that the hole is behind the air duct, you don't need clean it. 

Open the door and rinse with clean warm water, and dry with a soft cloth. If the refrigerator has been sprayed

with deodorant, please close the refrigerator door about fifteen minutes before the next step.

     keep the gasket flexible and ensure a good seal.
