DEFROSTING
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
instrument to remove frost. Never use a damp cloth or wet hands as they will stick to the inside
surfaces when cold. When defrosting becomes necessary, disconnect freezer from power
source by unplugging to avoid electrical hazard.
DO NOT ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL
. Remove the product and leave the door open while defrosting the freezer.
Place towels in the bottom of the freezer to catch the frost. When all frost has fallen, remove
the towels.
Defrosting tips
– If the frost is soft, remove it with a plastic scraper. If the frost is glazed and
hard, fill deep pans with hot water and place them inside on the freezer bottom. Close the
freezer door. Frost should soften in about 15 minutes. Repeat this procedure as necessary until
all frost is removed.
After defrosting
- Remove any towels, tools, or pans from the interior of the unit. Clean the
interior and exterior using the cleaning suggestions on the previous pages. Plug the unit back in
and restore it to service per the operation section of this manual.
