Maintenance
Frosting
Small amount of frost will accumulate inside the appliance, depending upon the frequency and duration of
the lid operation or the amount of moisture inside and relative humidity outside. It is essential to ensure
that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places where it will affect the close fitting of the lid, which might
allow air to penetrate the cabinet, thus encouraging continuous running of the compressor.
Removing frost
Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or a plastic scraper.

Do not use metal or sharp scrapers which may lead to removal of paint from the surface
of the cabinet.
Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor. For the removal of light frost, it is not necessary
to switch off the appliance.

For removing heavy ice deposits, the appliance should be completely disconnected from
the power supply and emptied.
The contents should be placed in a cardboard box and wrapped in thick blankets or layers of paper
to keep them cold.
Cleaning
Clean the inside with warm water mixed with a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly.
Wash all removable parts in the same way and reassemble. Do not forget to insert the drain plug.
Clean the condenser with the blower every fortnight.
Defrost Water Drainage Method
1. There is a water conduit at the bottom of the appliance; when defrosting, pull out the plastic cover;
defrosted water will drip into the hole and flow out. (Note: Please keep the plastic cover safe during
the defrosting and put it back after defrosting is done.)
2. Pull out the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole can be seen.
3. Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
4. After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming out; then put the plastic cover
back in place and make the arrow point upward.
