Defrosting
Water contained in food or getting into air inside the refrigerator by opening doors may form a
layer of frost inside. It will weaken the refrigeration and waste energy. When it’s thick lies
between 4mm and 6mm, you should defrost in time.
FREEZER CHAMBER DEFROSTING
Defrosting in freezer chamber is operated manually. Before defrosting, take out food or put
into the cold storing temperature temporarily, then set the knob of the temperature regulator
to position “0” where the compressor will stop working and leave the open until ice and frost
dissolve thoroughly, wipe off the water with soft cloth. You may be sure to set the knob to
original position after defrosting.
WARNING:
It’s also inadvisable to scrape ice and frost with apparatus, such as sharp tool, wooden bars
etc, or with mechnical devices or other manual means, such as hot water, heating container
etc, other than those recommended by the manufacturee,so as not to damage the inner
casing or the surface of the evaporator.
COLD-STORING CHAMBER DEFROSTING
It is automatic that cold-storing chamber does not need the defrosting operation. Water from
defrosting will be drained into container located in the top of compressor through a drain
pipes of the refrigerator back and evaporate automatically. (As chart)
NOTICE:
Be sure to keep the drain hole unblocked. If blocked, you may canal the eyelet with sharp
wooden bars.
