Defrosting the refrigerator compartment 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

o

Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator section during 
operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray 
and evaporates automatically. 

o

The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be 
cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug. This will prevent 
water from collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator, instead of 
flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole. 

o

You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole 
to clean inside of it. 

o

You should be careful to make sure that food packages do not 
touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the 
automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of 
your refrigerator. 

Defrosting the 

 freezer compartment 

 
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically. 
You can use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost that 
builds. 
 
IMPORTANT: The freezer compartment should be defrosted at least 
twice a year. The number of times that you need to defrost it, will 
depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you 
freeze and store in the compartment. 
 

o

The day before you defrost, turn the thermostat dial to position 
<7>, this will make sure that the food contained in the 
compartment is frozen properly. 

o

Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed 
from the compartment and wrapped in several layers of paper 
and stored in a cool place. The foods rise in temperature will 
shorten its storage life and therefore the food should be used 
within a relatively short period of time.
