Defrosting refrigerator compartment
Defrosting occurs fully automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation;
the defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf) should
be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the
refrigerator instead of flowing out.
Defrosting 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 refrig-
erator 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 done.
Before defrosting operation, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping
them in sheets of newspaper in order to obtain its temperature steady for long time.
To accelerate the defrosting process place one or more basins 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 them in a short period of time.
