IMPORTANT
Never use electrical appliances during
defrosting. Do not use pointed or sharp
objects to remove frost as this can damage the
refrigerant lines. If these lines are accidentally
pierced it will render the freezer inoperable and
void the manufacturer’s warranty.

DEFROSTING OR REMOVING CONDENSED WATER
This appliance should be defrosted approximately twice a year or
when the layer of frost inside the cabinet is 6 mm (1/4 inch) thick.
If the appliance is being used as a refrigerator, this process should
be used to remove the condensed water that will accumulate inside
the cabinet. Condensed water should be removed regularly to
prevent water from soaking and damaging food items.
1. To prepare, unplug the appliance and either move it to an area
that has a fl oor drain or place the provided drain pan in front
of the drain on the front of the cabinet.
2. The interior drain is located on the inside fl oor of the cabinet.
Remove the cover from the drain. Defrosted or condensed water
will fl ow into the hole and out through the exterior defrost drain
cap.
3. The exterior defrost drain cap is located on the front of the
cabinet. Gently pull out approximately 20 - 25 mm, until the
water hole is visible.
4. Twist the exterior drain cap so that the arrow points downward.
Make sure that the drain or pan is under the hole to collect
the water. Allow the appliance to stand with the lid open as it
defrosts or drains. Check the appliance regularly to ensure that
the water is not overfl owing.
5. When all water has been drained, twist the drain cap until the
arrow is pointing upwards and then push inward until it is fl ush
with the cabinet.
6. Replace the cover in the interior defrost drain. Set the thermostat
to MAX for approximately 2 hours before returning to the
desired temperature setting.
