Manual Defrosting - 

All models except ABT-3020AP

 

 

It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has accumulated. Frost 

may tend to accumulate faster on upper part of the freezer due to warm, moist air entering the 

freezer when the door is opened. Between defrost evolutions; you can minimize frost build-up 

by using a plastic scraper to remove frost. Scrape with a pulling motion. Never use a metal
