DEFROSTING
Defrosting the fridge compartment
• Defrosting occurs fully automatically in fridge compartment during operation; the
defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf) should
be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the fridge
instead of flowing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring 1/2 glass of water down it.
Defrosting the 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.
