Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment:
• Defrosting occurs automatically in
refrigerator compartment during
operation; the defrost water is collected
by the evaporating tray and evaporates
automatically.
• The evaporating tray and 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 ½ glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.
Defrosting the Freezer Compartment:
WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools, unless recommended by 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. The
frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically (use the
plastic scraper if available).
Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain the
efficiency of the freezer.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial 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 their storage life. Remember
to use these foods within 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.
• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent.
Never use abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents.
• Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to position "5".
After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position.
