‌Daily Care Of The Refrigerator

Daily care of the refrigerator mainly includes the following aspects:

Regular cleaning: Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the refrigerator at least once a month, including the interior of the refrigerator, door seals, partitions and drawers. Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth to wipe, and avoid using abrasive or acidic detergents. Be careful to avoid detergent residue when cleaning, and ventilate more after wiping to ensure that the interior is dry to avoid bacterial growth.

Check the seals: The seals are key components of the refrigerator. Make sure they are well sealed and not damaged or loose. If you find any problems, replace the seals in time.

Avoid overloading: Do not over-stack the refrigerator with food, and leave enough space for air circulation, which will help maintain a good cooling effect. The food in the refrigerator should not exceed 80% of the refrigerator capacity, and there should be a gap of about 1cm between the food and the box wall, and between the food.

Avoid opening and closing the door frequently: Frequent opening and closing of the refrigerator door will allow outside heat to enter, affecting the cooling effect. Try to take out or put in the required items at one time to reduce the number of times the door is opened.

Defrost regularly: For non-frost-free refrigerators, perform manual defrosting regularly to maintain refrigeration efficiency. When ice accumulates in the freezer compartment to more than 6 mm, turn off the refrigerator power and gently remove the ice with warm water or a hair dryer.

Keep air circulating: When you are away from home for a long time, you can leave the refrigerator door slightly open to keep fresh air circulating and avoid odor and bacteria growth.

Power on and run regularly: Even if you are not at home, you should power on the refrigerator regularly to help keep its mechanical parts running normally. You can set a schedule, such as powering it on and running it for a period of time every month.

Clean the filter: If the refrigerator is equipped with an air filter, it should be cleaned or replaced regularly to ensure air circulation and refrigeration efficiency.

Check the power cord and plug: Make sure the power cord and plug are not damaged to avoid electrical failures.

Clean the back and bottom: Regularly vacuum the heat sink and bottom of the refrigerator to maintain good heat dissipation. The back and sides of the refrigerator should be 5 to 10 cm away from the wall or other objects, and there should be 10 cm of space above to allow the radiator to work well.
