Maintenance

Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in
form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the
refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it
reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature
increases, it needs more energy, at a certain
thickness it does not allow the door of the frozen food
compartment to open, possibly the door can be
broken.
At this type of appliance defrosting fresh food
compartment is automatic without any external
intervention.
The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of
compressor at regular intervals for more or less time -
during this cooling is interrupted - temperature of the
fresh food compartment increases and defrosting
occurs. After defrosting the thermostatic control
restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet into
the evaporative tray maintained on the top of
compressor and evaporates due to warmth of it.
Check and clean the outlet of melting
water coming during defrosting regularly. If
it is clogged the melting water gathered can
cause earlier failure as it can go to the insulating
of the appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe
scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe
scraper has to be stored in the outlet.
Occasionally check defrost water outlet not to be
clogged up.
