5Using your refrigerator
Thermostat setting button Defrost
Fridge compartment performs full-
automatic defrosting. 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
to prevent decaying of the frozen
food.
• Frost formation in the freezer
compartment must be defrosted
every 6 months. It is recommended
to defrost the ice when the deep
freezer compartment is not filled too
much or is empty.
• To do this, wrap the frozen food
by paper and keep them in the
coolest place possible or in another
refrigerator if available.
The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the following
reasons;
• Seasonal temperatures,
• Frequent opening of the door and
leaving the door open for long
periods,
• Food put into the refrigerator
without cooling down to the room
temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator in the
room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).
• You may adjust the varying interior
temperature due to such reasons
by using the thermostat. Numbers
around the thermostat button
indicates the cooling degrees.
• If the ambient temperature is higher
than 32°C, turn the thermostat
button to maximum position.
• If the ambient temperature is lower
than 25°C, turn the thermostat
button to minimum position.

EN
14
• Stop your refrigerator by means of the
temperature setting button or unplug
the power cord from the outlet. You
can place a container filled with hot
water into the freezer compartment
