Defrosting
Fridge compartment;
• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation;
the water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with
the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the
refrigerator instead of flowing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring 1/2 glass of water down it.
Freezer compartment;
The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically (Use
the plastic scraper provided). The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the same
way as the refrigerator compartment, with the defrost function of the compartment at least
twice a year.
For this:
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to “5” position to freeze the food
completely.
• During defrosting, frozen food should be wrapped in several layers of paper and
kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten its storage life.
Remember to use this food within a relatively short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “•” or unplug the unit. Leave the door open until
the unit is completely defrosted.
• To accelerate the defrosting process, one or more bowls of warm water can be
placed in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to the MAX position.
