6.1. Defrosting

6.1.1. 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
owing out.
• You can also pour ½ glass of the water to
drain hole to clean inside.

6.1.2. 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 efciency 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.
