ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Always disconnect the power supply to the unit prior to any repair or maintenance of the unit in
order to prevent electric shock or injury.
Ensure you do not inhale or consume medication or aerosols from around the unit at the time of
maintenance. These may be harmful to your health.
CAUTION
Always put on the dry gloves to protect the hands at the time of maintenance. No gloves may cause
cut of the finger by the edge or corner.
Cleaning of cabinet
1. Clean the unit once a month. Regular cleaning keeps the unit looking new.
2. Use a dry cloth to wipe off small amounts of dirt on the outside and inside of the unit and all
accessories. If the unit is very dirty, use a neutral detergent.
3. After cleaning, wipe away the cleaner completely with a cloth washed in clean water.
4. Never pour water onto or into the unit. Doing so can damage the electric insulation and cause failure.
The compressor and other mechanical parts are completely sealed. This unit requires absolutely no
lubrication.
Remove dust from the power supply plug periodically.
Defrosting
Defrost the freezer whenever one of the defrost marks shown by 8 in the figure on page 8 is hidden by
frost.
Use the scraper provided for removing the frost if the freezer operation must be continued. Pay
attention not to impact or damage the inner wall.
(In the case of MDF-U537D, the top and bottom compartments can be defrosted independently.
Perform the following procedure after first using the compartment select key to select the compartment to
be defrosted.)
1. When defrosting, temporarily move all the contents of containers in the freezer to another
low-temperature freezer.
2. Place the empty defrost/storage container inside the freezer.
3. Press DEF key for 5 seconds to stop the refrigerating operation. While the refrigerating operation is
stopped, the current chamber temperature and dF is displayed on the control panel alternately.
4. After a several hours, check visually that all defrost was removed completely.
5. Throw out the water that has accumulated in the defrost/storage containers, then wipe the inside of the
freezer dry.
6. Press DEF key so that the refrigerating operation can be started.
7. Once the chamber temperature has dropped to the desired temperature, place the original contents
back in the freezer chamber.
Note:
After the defrosting, the refrigerating operation is never resumed automatically. Make sure to press DEF
key to start the freezer operation after defrosting.
