Although this appliance automatically defrosts, a
layer of frost may occur on the freezer
compartment's interior frequently or kept open
too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time
when the supply of food stocks are low and
proceed as follows:
1. Remove existing food and accessories
baskets, unplug the appliance from the
mains power and leave the doors open.
Ventilate the room thoroughly to accelerate
the thawing process.

and drinks can cause seals to stick to the cabinet
and tear when you open the door. Wash seal

dry should the appliance be powered on.

Replacing the LED light

Warning: The LED light should be replaced by a
competent person! If the LED light is damaged,
contact the customer helpline for assistance.

Defrosting

Why defrosting
Water contained in food or getting into air inside
the fridge be opening doors may form a frost
layer inside. It will weaken the refrigeration when
the frost is thick. While it is more than 10mm
thick, you should defrost.

Defrosting in fresh food storage compartment

It is automatically controlled by switching the
temperature regulator on or off so that there is
no need of operation of defrosting. Water from
defrosting will be drained into an drip tray
through a drain pipe at the back of the fridge
automatically.

Defrosting in frozen-food storage compartment

•
Defrosting in freezer chamber is operated
manually. Before defrosting, take the food
out.
•
Take the ice tray and food in drawers out or
put them into the fresh food compartment
temporarily.
•
Set the knob of the temperature regulator to
position "0" (where the compressor will stop
working) and leave the door of the
refrigerator open until ice and frost dissolve
thoroughly and accumulation at the bottom
of the freezer chamber. Wipe off the water
with soft cloth.
•
In the case of speeding up the process of
defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm
water (about 50°C) into the freezer chamber,
and scrape away the ice and frost with a
defrosting spatula. After doing so, be sure to
set the knob of the temperature regulator to
the original position.
•
It is not advisable to heat the freezer
