Defrosting

Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment
• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation; the
water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the
defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator
instead of flowing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring ½ glass of water down it.
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 refrigerant
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 carried out.
• Before defrosting, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping it in sheets of
newspaper (this will help the food to maintain it's tempertaure for longer).
• To accelerate the defrosting process, place one
or more bowls 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 it
in a short period of time.
