15. Defrosting

a) Refrigerator compartment
The rear wall of inner compartment may get frosted when
the compressor (refrigerating unit) is operating. The

Kept these foods in a cool place before the defrosting

operation. A thick layer of ice or frost acts as heat
insulation and hinders thermal conduction.
Defrost the freezer compartment in the shortest time
possible to avoid thawing of frozen foods.
Wipe off defrost water from time to time with sponge.
Place a container of hot water (do not use boiling water)
near the door of freezer compartment to speed up the
