Never use sharp metal tools to scrape
off frost from the evaporator as you
could damage it.
However, when the ice becomes very
thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as
follows:
•Unplug the unit. Remove the drain
plug from the inside of the freezer.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours.
To defrost faster keep the freezer door
open.
•For draining, place a tray beneath the
outer drain plug. Pull out the drain
dial.
•Rotate the drain dial 180 degree.
This will let the water flow out in the
tray. When done, push the drain dial
in. Re-plug the drain plug inside the
freezer compartment. Note: monitor
the container under the drain to avoid
overflow.
•Wipe the interior of the freezer and
replace the electrical plug in the
electrical outlet.
•Reset the temperature control to the
desired setting.
