Defrosting-Cleaning-De-commissioning
Defrosting the cold storage compart-
ment
The cold storage compartment is designed for
automatic defrosting. Frost formed on the back wall
will melt and flow via the drainpipe to the evaporat-
ing container over the compressor on the back of
the refrigerator, where the heat generated by the
compressor will evaporate the water.
Caution: Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray clear to ensure
the normal flow of defrosted water. Use the rod provided to clear any blockages.
Defrosting the freezer
After a period of operation, a layer of frost will form on the surface of the freezer. Addi-
tional electricity will be consumed if this layer becomes too thick. The defrosting process
must be carried out when a thick layer of frost has been formed.
To defrost the freezer, first disconnect the power by unplugging the refrigerator, and then
remove any food from the refrigerator and place it in a cool place. Use a plastic defrost-
ing tool.
After ice and frost are melted, wipe up the inside of the freezer compartment.
Caution: Never use a metal tool or electrical heater for defrosting.
After the defrosting is completed, plug in the refrigerator and it starts operation again.
Power failure
Even in summer, food can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours after a power failure.
* Don't put additional food into the refrigerator during a power failure.
* Avoid opening the door during power failures
* If prior notice of a power failure is given, make some ice and put it in a container in the top
of the cold storage compartment.
Caution: temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power failure or in the
event of technical problems, and the storage period will be reduced.
