Defrosting
Why defrosting
Water contained in food or getting into air inside the fridge be opening doors may form
a layer pf frost 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. Be fore defrosting, take the food
out; take the ice tray and drawers out or put them into the fresh food compartment
temporarily, then 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 t he case of speeding up the process of defrosting, you
may put a bowl of warm water (about 50℃) 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.
To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position ”0” .

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.
