Refrigerator cleaning steps
1. Clean the refrigerator shelves
When cleaning the refrigerator, first clean the refrigerator The power supply is disconnected, and then take out all the food in the refrigerator, and then take out the shelves, fruit and vegetable boxes, and bottle frames in the refrigerator compartment, and be careful when taking them out. When cleaning, use a rag dipped in water mixed with detergent to wipe it. After cleaning, dry it with a rag, and then put it in a ventilated and dry place to dry.
2. Clean the places where dirt is stored
It is difficult to clean the hidden places in the refrigerator, and the things that cannot be distributed in the refrigerator are thought to be Discharge from here. The drain pipe should also be cleaned. If the groove in the rubber sealing strip of the refrigerator door has black dirt and spots, it may cause the door of the refrigerator to fail to close, which will affect the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerator. Dip the toothbrush with detergent, then wipe the grooves, and then dry it with a dry cloth. You can also wrap chopsticks with a paper towel dipped in detergent, or clean with alcohol.
3. Cleaning of the interior of the refrigerator
If the freezer is too thick, do not chisel or shovel the ice with a hard object to avoid damage to the refrigerator It is best to let the freezer defrost naturally before wiping. If you want to quickly remove the ice, you can blow the frozen place with a hair dryer after unplugging the power supply, and let it loosen or melt naturally.
4. Door cleaning
Many refrigerators are placed in the kitchen, and cooking dishes will sometimes splash oil stains on the surface of the refrigerator, which will be more difficult to clean. Simple, use a sponge or rag dipped in a little dish soap to wipe it off a few times, and then dry it with a dry rag after washing. If the stain is more stubborn, you can use a different brush to scrub.
5. Cleaning of the heat dissipation door panel
The heat dissipation door panel will be easily stained with dust, which will affect the heat dissipation effect, resulting in short life of parts and poor cooling effect . When cleaning, just use a clean brush or dry cloth to remove the dust, but be careful not to use a damp cloth.
Refrigerator Cleaning Tips
1, Detergent+Vinegar+Warm water Cleaning the refrigerator
The quick way to clean the refrigerator is to prepare a cleaning and sterilizing detergent by yourself. In the prepared detergent, it is used to scrub the interior of the refrigerator and the main body of the refrigerator after a little wringing out, then wash the scouring pad and continue to wipe it with clean water for several times until the detergent is cleaned, and the sealing strip of the refrigerator is the best It should also be removed, soaked in warm water, and then reinstalled after washing.
2. Dishwashing liquid + toothpaste to wipe the refrigerator
First clean with dishwashing liquid, and then wipe the door of the refrigerator with toothpaste, because the door is always exposed Outside, it is easy to get dust or oil stains, so you can use a sponge or scouring pad to wipe it with detergent first, and then wipe it off with toothpaste when you encounter stubborn stains, because toothpaste contains abrasives, so the decontamination effect is very good powerful.
3. Tea, paper towel, orange peel, lemon to remove odor
It is inevitable that the refrigerator will decompose and have peculiar smell. In addition to cleaning the refrigerator, It also needs to be deodorized. You can use lemon peel, orange peel, coffee residue, leftover tea leaves, paper towels, etc. to remove the odor in the refrigerator. It can be removed by placing it in the refrigerator for a few days.
Removal of mold inside the refrigerator
1. Take out all the items in the refrigerator, wipe the inner wall of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dipped in washing powder solution, Then scrub it again with cleaning, and finally dry it.
2. Wipe the inside of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dipped in soapy water, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and air dry.
3. Wipe the inner wall of the refrigerator with a dry cloth dipped in alcohol, and turn on the power after the alcohol evaporates.
4. Another way to descale and sterilize two birds with one stone is to use 2% baking soda water to scrub the inside of the refrigerator.
Freezer Maintenance
1. Unplug the freezer and take out everything in the freezer. Open the freezer door and wait for the frost to melt. Be careful not to defrost with sharp objects. The evaporator is made of aluminum and it is easy to leak. Dry the freezer from the inside out with a clean rag and wipe clean.
2. Set the thermostat to “stop” or “0” or “Max” (strong cold point) to make the thermostat in a natural state and prolong its life.
3. When the freezer is not in use, the door seal should be padded with something to prevent the box body and the door seal from sticking; if it is not used for a long time, you can apply some lime powder on the door seal.
4. The freezing point of the refrigerant in the freezer is very low, so don’t worry about freezing and place the freezer in a high temperature place.
5. When moving the freezer, it should be moved in parallel, not tilted, to prevent the compressor from dragging the cylinder. Store in a ventilated and dry place away from direct sunlight.
6. Do not cover it with plastic bags. There is a certain amount of moisture in the indoor air. The moisture absorbed by the freezer is not easy to dissipate, which will cause corrosion of electrical components and damage to metal components.
7. If possible, it is best to turn on the electricity once a month, make the compressor run normally for 30-60 minutes, and then turn it off to warm up the compressor.
8. During the initial shutdown, be sure to maintain it thoroughly. Most of the freezer condensers and compressors are outside, which is very easy to accumulate dust and should be cleaned with a soft brush. Note that the condenser and compressor must not be washed with water, so as not to reduce the insulation performance of the electrical appliance. When cleaning the inner wall, take out all the items in the freezer so that it is easy to clean.
9. If there is still peculiar smell inside after cleaning, you can use 3% baking soda to carefully scrub the interior wall of the storage room.
10. Do not forcibly cut off the power supply of the freezer. If it is forcibly cut off, the power is turned on again when the refrigerant has a relatively high pressure, and the high pressure causes the motor to be overloaded. At this time, the starting current is about 20-30 times the normal value, and it is easy to burn the motor.
11. When the freezer is disabled, when the temperature in the freezer drops to a certain value, the thermostat will automatically cut off the power before unplugging the power plug.
Notes on using the freezer
1. Do not put the refrigerated items too densely, leaving a gap to facilitate the circulation of cold air, so that the food cools down faster, Reduce the number of compressor runs and save electricity.
2. When putting fresh fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator, be sure to spread them out. If the fruits and vegetables are piled together, it will cause cold outside and heat inside, which will consume more electricity.
3. For those foods with large portions, they can be packaged separately according to the amount of each serving of the family, and only take out the amount for one serving at a time, instead of taking a large piece of food out of the refrigerator, Put it back when you can’t use it. Repeated freezing wastes electricity and can easily damage food.
4. There are several ways to thaw frozen food, such as water flushing and natural thawing. It takes a while to thaw. Frozen food can be “transferred” from the freezer to the refrigerator a few hours before eating, because the cold air of the frozen food can help maintain the temperature and reduce the operation of the compressor, thereby saving electricity, and it releases ” Air-conditioning”, so as to achieve the purpose of thawing, killing two birds with one stone, hehe.
5. When placing the refrigerator, generally, a space of 5-10 cm should be reserved on both sides, 10 cm above, and 10 cm on the back side, which can help the refrigerator to dissipate heat. Do not place it with appliances such as stereos, TVs, microwaves, etc. The heat generated by these appliances can increase the power consumption of the refrigerator.
