to return the knob to the
original position, otherwise
all food in the refrigerator
compartment may be frozen.
NOTE
• The knob cannot be turned beyond-
MAX position and should not be forced
beyond this mark.
• When the knob is set at the WARM dew
drops may be formed.
DEFROSTING
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
When frost deposits (more than 5mm high) in the
freezer, the cooling effect is sacrificed. Defrost ear-
lier in the following procedure.
While the frost is soft and slight;
Scrape off with the furnished defrosting spatula with-
out stopping the operation.
When the frost is iced;
1.Empty the freezer by removing
all foods, Freezer shelf and Ice
cube trays.
2.Turn the knob to OFF position,
and open the freezer door.
3.Scrape off with the spatula, and wipe the water
collected in the bottom with cloth. Because of
the natural defrosting system, it may take some-
what a long time depending on the ambient tem-
perature.
The front edge of the freezer compartment ceil-
ing may be covered with more frost than on other
parts. This is normal because chilly air is nor-
mally circulated by convection in the freezer com-
partment.
Defrosting spatula
4.After defrosting, return the knob to the original
position.
NOTE
• Once the knob is set to OFF position, do not return
to other position immediately, otherwise the com-
pressor may suffer immoderate load. Wait at least
five minutes before turning.
• Do not attempt to defrost the evaporator by force,
using knife or the like. Otherwise the evaporator
surface may be damaged or cracked, which may
cause leakage of refrigerant and trouble of the re-
frigerator.
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
The evaporator in the refrigerator does not require
defrosting operation. Whenever the compressor is
stopped by the thermostat, the refrigerator is natu-
rally defrosted, and water is discharged in the Evapo-
rating pan provided above the compressor and is
evaporated by the compressor heat.
