Defrost
Fridge compartment
Fridge compartment performs full-
automatic defrosting. Water drops
and a frosting up to 7-8 mm can occur
on the inner rear wall of the fridge
compartment while your refrigerator
cools down. Such formation is normal
as a result of the cooling system.
The frost formation is defrosted by
performing automatic defrosting
with certain intervals thanks to the
automatic defrosting system of the
rear wall. User is not required to scrape
the frost or remove the water drops.
Water resulting from the defrosting
passes from the water collection
groove and flows into the evaporator
through the drain pipe and evaporates
here by itself.
Check regularly to see if the drain
pipe is clogged or not and clear it with
the stick in the hole when necessary.
Deep freezer compartment does not
perform automatic defrosting in order
topreventdecayingofthe frozenfood.
The freezer compartment defrosts
automatically.

Water Dispenser
*May not be available in all models
The water dispenser is a very useful
feature allowing cold water on tap

from the dispenser is subject to the
degree you press the lever.
As the level of the water in your
glass/container rises, slightly lessen
the pressure on the lever to prevent
the overspill. If you slightly press the
lever, the water will drip; this is quite
normal and not a failure.

shown in the figure. Fill in the pure and
clean drinking water. Close the cover.
To avoid flowing of water by mistake,
we recommend you to lock the water
dispenser .

any other liquid except for water
such as fruit juices, carbonated
beverages or alcoholic drinks which
are not suitable to use in the water
dispenser. Water dispenser will
be irreparably damaged if these
kinds of liquids are used. Warranty
does not cover such usages. Some
chemical substances and additives
contained in these kinds of drinks/
liquids may damage the water tank.
