Defrosting
Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment
•
Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation; the
defrost water is collected in the evaporator tray and evaporates automatically.
•
The evaporator tray and the defrost water drain should be cleaned periodically with the
defrost drain cleaning tool to prevent blockage and water collection on the bottom of the
refrigerator.
•
You can also pour ½ a glass of water into the drain hole to clean inside.
Defrosting the Freezer Compartment (if available)
WARNING:
Never use sharp metal tools (unless recommended by the manufacturer) for this
operation as they can damage the refrigeration circuit.
After a period of time frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer compartment, this
should be removed periodically (use the scraper if available).
Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5mm to maintain
efficiency of the freezer.
• The day before defrost set the thermostat Knob to position “5” 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 its storage life.
•
Remember to use these foods in a relatively short period of time.
•
Set the thermostat knob to position “ ” and switch off the appliance.
•
Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the
compartment.
