• Use a soft cloth or sponge with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water to clean the inside. Rinse with water and wipe clean. Let it dry naturally before turning the power back on.

• For difficult-to-clean areas (like narrow gaps or corners), use a soft rag or brush, and auxiliary tools like thin sticks to ensure no contaminants accumulate.

• Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, or spray cleaner, as these can cause odors or contaminate food.

• Clean the bottle frame, shelves, and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth or let them dry naturally.

• Wipe the outer surface with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.

• Do not use hard brushes, steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives (like toothpaste), or organic solvents (like alcohol, acetone, banana oil), boiling water, or acid/alkaline items, as they may damage the fridge surface and interior.

• Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids to avoid short circuits or affecting electrical insulation.

The MIDEA MDRB424FGE01I refrigerator is made based on the air-cooling principle and has an automatic defrosting function. Frost that forms due to a change of season or temperature can also be manually removed by disconnecting the appliance from the power supply and wiping it with a dry towel.

Cleaning of door tray:

• Using both hands, squeeze the tray and push it upward to take it out.

• After washing, you can adjust its installing height according to your requirements.

Cleaning of glass shelf:

• The innermost part of the refrigerator liner where the shelves contact has a backstop. Raise the shelves upward to take them out.

• Adjust or clean the shelves according to your needs.

Cleaning the vegetable drawer:

1. Remove the contents of the drawer. Hold the handle and pull it out completely until it stops.

2. Lift the vegetable drawer up and remove it by pulling it out.

Power failure:

In case of a power failure, even in summer, foods inside the MIDEA MDRB424FGE01I can be kept for several hours. During the power failure, reduce the number of door openings and do not put any more fresh food into the appliance.

Long-time nonuse:

The appliance should be unplugged and then cleaned. The doors should be left open to prevent odor.

Moving:

Before moving the refrigerator, take all objects out, fix the glass partitions, vegetable holder, freezing chamber drawers, etc., with tape, and tighten the leveling feet. Close the doors and fix them with tape. During moving, the appliance should not be laid upside down, horizontally, or vibrated. The inclination during movement should be no more than 45°.

If your MIDEA MDRB424FGE01I is not operating, check the following:

• Check whether the appliance is connected to power and if the plug is in good contact.

• Check if the voltage is too low.

• Check if there is a power failure or if partial circuits have tripped.

If there is an odor in your MIDEA MDRB424FGE01I:

• Ensure odorous foods are tightly wrapped.

• Check if there is any rotten food inside.

• Clean the inside of the refrigerator.

Long operation of the compressor is normal in summer when the ambient temperature is high. Other reasons could be:

• Having too much food in the appliance at the same time is not suggested.

• Food should get cool before being put into the appliance.

• The doors are being opened too frequently.

If the light fails to get lit:

• Check whether the refrigerator is connected to a power supply.

• Check if the illuminating light is damaged.

• Have the light replaced by a specialist.

If the door cannot be properly closed:

• The door may be stuck by food packages.

• The refrigerator might be tilted.

If you hear loud noises:

• Check whether the floor is level and if the refrigerator is placed stably.

• Check if accessories are placed in their proper locations.

If the door seal fails to be tight:

• Remove any foreign matters on the door seal.

• Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration. You can do this by blowing it with an electrical drier or using a hot towel for heating.

If the water pan overflows:

• There might be too much food in the chamber, or the food stored contains too much water, resulting in heavy defrosting.

• The doors may not be closed properly, which can result in frosting due to air entry and increased water from defrosting.

The heat dissipation of the built-in condenser occurs via the housing, which is normal. When the housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature, storage of too much food, or the compressor being shut down, ensure there is sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation.

Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Simply wipe the condensate with a clean towel.

Certain noises from your MIDEA MDRB424FGE01I are normal:

• **Buzz:** The compressor may produce buzzes during operation, which can be loud, particularly upon start or stop. This is normal.

• **Creak:** Refrigerant flowing inside the appliance may produce a creaking sound, which is also normal.

The following parts can be acquired from a service provider channel for the MIDEA MDRB424FGE01I:

The optional OK-temperature indicator in your MIDEA MDRB424FGE01I can be used to determine temperatures below +4°C. If the sign does not indicate “OK”, gradually reduce the temperature.

To ensure the temperature in this area is maintained, do not change the positioning of the shelf. In forced air refrigerators (with a fan or No Frost models), the symbol of the coldest zone is not represented because the internal temperature is homogeneous.

This indicator is intended to work only with your MIDEA MDRB424FGE01I; do not use it in another refrigerator or for any other use.

With the temperature indicator, you can regularly check that the temperature of the coldest zone is correct. The internal temperature of the refrigerator depends on several factors, such as the ambient temperature of the room, the amount of food stored, and the frequency of door opening. Take these factors into consideration when setting the device.

• When the indicator shows « OK », it means your thermostat is well adjusted, and the internal temperature is correct.

• If the temperature indicator turns WHITE, the temperature is too high. In this case, increase the refrigerator temperature control setting and wait for 12 hours before performing a new visual inspection of the indicator. When fresh food has been introduced or the door has been left open, it is possible for the indicator to turn WHITE for a while.
