 INTERIOR LIGHT
When you open the door the light will be ON automatically. When you close the door the light will
turn OFF automatically.
 DEFROSTING YOUR APPLIANCE
 When?: For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer
compartment when the frost on the appliance walls is excessive or ¼ inch thick.
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator compartment, because ice depositing on the inner back
wall is defrosted automatically. Ice may deposit on the inner back wall during the compressor
operation; later on, when the compressor is not operating the ice will defrost and the water drops
collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the
compressor, from where is evaporates.
 How?:
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a
sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will
void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
 Reset the thermostat to the "0" position and disconnect the power supply.
Remove the frozen food from the appliance and place it in a cooler to protect the food.

Leave the door open for a while so that you can easily scrap off the frost.

 Use a plastic scraper but be careful not to damage the inner surfaces of the freezer.
Wipe up the scraped off frost and ice before it is completely defrosted.
