The maintenance methods for kitchen refrigerators include regular cleaning, defrosting and deicing, maintaining appropriate temperature, placing food reasonably, regular inspection and maintenance, avoiding frequent opening and closing of doors, and handling when not in use for a long time.
regular cleaning
Keeping the interior of the refrigerator clean is the key to maintaining it. Regularly cleaning the food residue and dirt inside the refrigerator can prevent the growth of bacteria and maintain the freshness and safety of food. You can use a mild cleaner and a damp cloth to wipe the surfaces and drawers inside the refrigerator. Also, don't forget to clean the sealing strip of the refrigerator door to ensure a good sealing effect.
Defrosting and deicing
For direct cooling refrigerators (with frost), regular manual defrosting is required. When the thickness of frost exceeds 5 millimeters, defrosting operation should be carried out to avoid increased energy consumption and decreased cooling effect. Although frost free refrigerators (air-cooled refrigerators) have automatic defrosting, it is also necessary to regularly check whether their defrosting function is normal.
Maintain an appropriate temperature
Adjust the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer according to food storage needs. Generally speaking, the temperature in the refrigerator should be set at 0-8 degrees Celsius, and the temperature in the freezer should be set below 18 degrees Celsius. Use a thermometer to monitor the actual temperature inside the refrigerator, ensuring accurate settings.
