Always keep the drain over the fresh food container clear to ensure the normal
flow of defrosted water. Use the pin provided to clear any blockage.
Defrosting the refrigerator
The refrigerator is designed for automatic defrosting.
Frost formed on the back wall will melt and flow via the
drainpipe to the evaporating recipient over the
compressor on the back of the refrigerator, where the
heat generated by the compressor will evaporate the
water. It is normal for frost and water droplets to form on
the back wall of the refrigerator.
Only the tools provided by the manufacturer can be used for defrosting.

Defrosting freezer zone 1 and freezer
zone 2
●Manual defrosting is required for the freezer zone 1 and 2. After a
period of operation, a layer of frost will form on the evaporator in
the freezer compartments. Additional 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 on the evaporator.
● To defrost the compartment, first disconnect the power by
unplugging the refrigerator, and then remove any food from the
refrigerator and place it in a cool place. Remove and replace the
drawers. A bowl of hot water can be placed on the evaporator to
accelerate the defrosting process.
