2015/10/8

  If the refrigerator needs to be stopped for a period of time due to special circumstances, then some protective measures should be taken, as follows:

(1) When the refrigerator is out of use, take out the items stored in the box, unplug the power plug, and clean the inside and outside of the refrigerator after the frost is exhausted.

(2) Place the thermostat adjustment disc in the "0" (or "stop") or "Max" ("strong cold spot") group to keep the elastic elements inside the thermostat in their natural state and prolong their service life.

(3) The door seal and the box are padded with paper strips to prevent the door seal from sticking to the box; If you don't use it for a longer period of time, you can also apply some talcum powder to the door seal.

(4) After deactivation, the refrigerator must also be placed in a dry and ventilated place, avoid direct sunlight, and keep the refrigerator stable after the position is moved.

(5) The indoor air has a certain humidity, so do not cover the refrigerator with a plastic bag, it is not easy to dissipate through the tin moisture, which will cause the corrosion of metal parts and destroy the performance of electrical components.

(6) The freezing temperature of the freon used for refrigeration in the refrigerator is very low, so there is no need to worry about it freezing and put the refrigerator in a place with a high temperature.

(7) If possible, it is best to turn on the power once a month, and then turn off the compressor after half an hour to one hour of normal operation.
