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
• The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be removed
periodically.
• Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerator
circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic scraper provided.
• When there is more than 5 mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting must be done.
• Before defrosting operation, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping them in
sheets of newspaper in order to obtain its temperature steady for long time.
• To accelerate the defrosting process place one or more basins of warm water in the
freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.
• Once the unit has been defrosted, place the food into freezer and remember to consume
them in a short period of time.
