Defrosting
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.

freezer compartment, should be removed
periodically.

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.
