When the ice layer on the inner cabinet sides is over 0.2”, the defrosting
operation should be performed to improve the refrigerating
efficiency. To do this, follow these steps below:
1. Turn off the power, and remove all items located within
the chest.
2. Allow the ice to completely melt.
3. Remove the drain plug and drain all water. Once the unit is defrosted and
all the water has drained out, clean the interior with a soft rag before
using the unit.
Tip: To remove bad odors place a piece of charcoal in the chest
It is normal to hear gurgling sounds caused by the flow of refrigerant when
each cooling cycle ends.
The surface temperature of the compressor can reach 158-194°F when
running.
The noise emitted by the cooling fan on the condenser is a normal
function.
It is normal for the fan in the power supply to run all the time.
Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning. Clean the inside
of the cabinet whenever necessary using a solution of warm water and
baking soda (1 tablespoon to every 2 liters of water). Dry with a soft
cloth.
Do not use steel brushes or aggressive detergents to clean the inner
liner.
