General defrosting
Fridge compartment;
Care and maintenance
• Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator
during operation; the defrost water is
collected by the evaporating compartment
and evaporates automatically.
• 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 « » 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.
