Defrosting
Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment
• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation. The
water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the
defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator
instead of flowing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring half a glass of water down it.
Defrosting the Freezer Compartment
Frost accumulated in the freezer compartment should be removed regularly (using the
plastic scraper provided). The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the same way as
the refrigerator compartment, with the defrost function, at least twice a year.
For this:
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze food completely.
• During defrosting, frozen food should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in
a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten its storage life. Remember
to use this food within a relatively short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “•” and disconnect the appliance from the mains.
Leave the door open until the unit is completely defrosted.
• To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the
freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to the MAX position.
