Defrosting
Defrosting the fridge compartment
When the freezer is working, frost is formed at the
rear wall of the fridge compartment and melts
automatically when the compressor stops.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
Humidity forms frost or ice in the freezer compartment
while the appliance is working or when the freezer door
is opened. The thick ice and frost decrease cool air and
increase the energy consumption.
Defrost Ice Layer
If the freezer compartment is heavily iced, defrost as
follows.
- Remove the frozen food, wrap in newspaper and store
in a cool place.
- Leave the door open, and wipe out water with a
sponge.
- Dry the freezer compartment thoroughly, turn on the
appliance, and replace frozen foods.
It is helpful to place a saucepan with hot water inside
of the freezing room in order to assist defrost.
NOTE
Never place electrical devices in the refrigerator
for defrost. Take care when using defrosting sprays
for assisting defrosting. These sprays include
substances containing explosive gas, or harmful for
synthesis or human health.
