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 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
chamber directly with hot water or hair
dryer while defrosting to avoid
deformation of the inner case.
It is also not advisable to scrape off ice
and frost or separate food from the
containers which have been congealed
together with the food with sharp tools or
wooden bars, so as not to damage the
inner casing or the surface of the
evaporator.
Warning! Switching off the appliance
before defrosting, turn the temperature
regulator to position "0".
Important! The fridge should be
defrosted at least every one month.
During the using process, if the door was
opened frequently or using the appliance
in the extreme humidity, we advise the
user to defrost every two weeks.
