Defrosting
Refrigerator Compartment;
• Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation ; the
defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evoparates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically
with defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the
refrigerator instead of flowing out.
• You can also pour 1/2 glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.
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
way as the refrigerator compartment, with the defrost operations 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 foods
completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and
kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life.
Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
• Set thermostat knob to position « 0 » or unplug the unit; leave the door open until
completely defrosted.
• To accelerate the defrosting process one or more basins of warm water can be
placed in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to MAX position.
