Push the defrost Knob after every 3 days / Ice Level reaches defrost indicator
Ice Making
Fill ice trays with water, place in freeze Box. To remove ice cube, gently twist Ice Tray.

Do not use sharp tool to remove ice tray, otherwise you may puncture the evaporator resulting gas leakage thus non performance of refrigerator. If you are leaving the appliance turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the
interior, and leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent mold from growing in the appliance.

Avoid storing hot foods in the refrigerator, cool them to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator.
4. Formation of water drops on exterior of refrigerator.	- High humidity during monsoon season.	During the monsoon, when the humidity in the atmosphere reaches around 90%, water droplets may form around the sides of the refrigerator cabinet, especially the top portion.
