detergent could be added into the warm
water to wash the cloth and then wipe it
again with the clean water);
Prepare an independent two-pole socket
with grounding contact for the refrigerator
and it shall plug directly to electric socket
on wall, and not share a multi-purpose
socket with other electrical appliances;
Do connect grounding wire! The grounding
pole of the socket shall be provided with a
reliable grounding wire.

changed or other food is stored inside of the
refrigerator. Such a period of time depends
on the change to the setting temperature,
the surrounding temperature, opening
frequency, the amount of the stored food
and etc.
Refrigerator Compartment
Though the temperature-adjustable device
could keep most of the refrigerator
compartment at an average temperature
around 2°C - 8°C (35.6°F – 46.4°F), it fails to

label of the turnover beam. It is a normal
phenomenon that the surface of the
turnover beam is hot. Dews on the surface
are also normal in summer or when the
surrounding environment is wet. What you
