Appliance Maintenance Guide for Iraq | SHAHAN
May 4, 2025
Appliances from SHAHAN are built to last, but a simple maintenance routine ensures they run at peak efficiency year after year.
Follow the recommendations below—crafted by SHAHAN’s service-centre technicians—to extend lifespan and reduce unexpected downtime.
Monthly Maintenance Calendar
Week of Month | Appliance | Task | Why It’s Important in Iraq |
|---|---|---|---|
1st | Refrigerator | Vacuum rear coils; wipe door gaskets | Dust layers force compressors to over-work in high heat |
2nd | Washing Machine | Run an empty 60 °C cycle with mild descaler | Mineral-rich water leaves limescale on drums |
3rd | Split AC | Clean or replace filters | Dust storms clog airflow, raising electricity use |
4th | Oven / Cooker Hood | Degrease filters with warm soapy water | Heavy oil cooking blocks ventilation |
Set phone reminders or use a printed checklist on the fridge door.
Protecting Against Voltage Dips
Plug high-load units (ACs, washers) into grounded outlets.
Avoid daisy-chaining extension cords to prevent heat build-up.
SHAHAN designs compressors and motors to tolerate fluctuating supply, but proper wiring further safeguards electronics.
Cleaning Products to Use
Surface | Recommended Cleaner | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
Stainless steel panels | Microfibre + pH-neutral spray | Abrasive powders |
Ceramic hobs | Soft-scrub paste | Metal scouring pads |
Plastic trims | Mild dish soap | Solvents like acetone |
Warranty Essentials
Every DLC & Orange unit includes an 18-month warranty with support through four service centres and on-site visits when necessary.
Keep your purchase invoice—warranty starts from the date printed.
When to Seek Professional Help
Contact your nearest authorised dealer or service centre if you notice:
Persistent error codes after restart
Unusual noises during spin or cooling cycles
AC not reaching set temperature within 15 minutes
Authorised technicians use genuine parts stocked in 10 + warehouses across Iraq, ensuring fast turnaround.
Eco-Friendly Disposal
SHAHAN promotes recycling of old appliances via partner dealers. Ask for take-back options when purchasing a new model.
Final Takeaway
Regular cleaning, voltage protection, and prompt service calls keep DLC & Orange appliances running like new—saving money and reducing environmental impact.
