Defrosting
Why defrosting
● Once Water contained in food or getting into air

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

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

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.
