Refrigerator Care Tips for Users

• Defrost regularly or when thick frost accumulates in the freezer compartment. Frequent opening of freezer or cooling compartment doors can accelerate accumulation of frost. Thick frost can turn off thermostat and prevents running of compressor motor. This creates a situation of thick frost on freezer but cooling compartment is not cooling enough.
• Minimize frequent opening of refrigerator doors.Frequent opening of ref doors makes cold escape from compartments and lets in the hot air. This forces the motor compressor to work harder and increases power consumption. 
• Install the Refrigerator unit in a place with good air circulation and away from direct sunlight for better cooling efficiency. Ideally, the back of the Refrigerator should be at least 10 cm. away from the wall and its top must have a clearance of at least 30cm. from the ceiling.
• Clean Refrigerator regularly to minimize accumulation of odors.
• Use plastic ice scraper to remove stuck items or ice from freezer. Do not use knife or ice pick when removing items stuck in freezer as there is high risk of puncturing the tubing system of the refrigerator which causes leakage of refrigerant and results to a no cooling problem.
  
  
• Check that refrigerator door gasket is still pliant and magnetized allowing it to cling to the the cabinet sides to seal in the cold. Leaky gasket reults to cooling inefficiency which wastes electric power.

Washing Machine Care Tips for Users

• Do not overload washing machine. Put in the amount of laundry equal to or below the rated load capacity to prolong motor life and minimize stress on mechanical parts.
• Take care not to drench the timer switches with water as this can cause electric sparks. Electrical sparking can burn switch contacts, gears and springs.
• Make visual checks for water leaks. When the water level inside the laundry tub is decreasing even when the wash selector is not in drain position means that there is a leak in the tub or the drain plug. Leaks must be fixed to avoid waste of water.
• Remove all coins,  keys and other items from the pockets of pants and clothes before putting them in to the washing machine. Coins and other small objects tend to get lodged inside the drain tube of the machine and block the water exit to the drain hose.   
• If your washing machine is an automatic-type using a push-button electronic control panel, unplug the unit from the AC outlet every time there is a thunderstorm. Lightning strikes on electrical lines can cause power surges that can damage parts on the electronic panel.
• Install washing machine on level and stable ground so it won't "walk" when tub is spinning.
