ATTENTION:

Defrosting—Do not use sharp,
pointed objects to remove frost or
ice from surfaces of the refrigerator
and/or freezer compartment. Doing
so could puncture the cooling coil,
causing the unit to lose its ability 
to maintain cold temperatures 
and voiding the warranty. 
See the 

Care and Cleaning

section for instructions on
defrosting the refrigerator 
and/or freezer compartment.
