V. FUNCTIONS
5.1 DEFROSTING
5.1.1 No Defrosting Operation Is
Necessary
As this machine is so designed that a
built-in evaporator cools air and a fan
circulates cooled air, neither the
freezer nor the refrigerator is frosted,
though the evaporator is frosted.
The frosted evaporator is defrosted
automatically due to the function of
defrosting timer and heater, requiring
no defrosting operation.
5.1.2 Where is melted ice brought?
i. Melted ice is brought into the
evaporating pan at the bottom of
the set and is evaporated here by
the heat of sub condenser.
ii. Be sure to use the evaporating pan
as inserted so as to be level with
the outer case.
