Defrosting
The appliance require defrosting once or twice a year when ice layer thickness reaches 5~10mm.
Unplug the appliance from the mains before defrosting.

Power failure
In case there is a power failure, you should contact the electricity supply company and take the following
actions:
If it is last within 24 hours, keep the doors closed. This will allow the stored food to stay cold as long as

food in a portable freezer or using artificial ice packs. Try to use up the food which is more easily
perishable.

If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be frozen again, although flavour and aroma may be
affected. If food is found to be in a poor condition, it is best to throw it away.
