DEFROSTING AND DRAINING
DANGER
Fire or Explosion Hazard
Flammable refrigerant used.
Do not use mechanical devices to defrost freezer.
Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
For maximum energy efficiency, defrost freezer compartment whenever frost
accumulates to a thickness of 1/4" (6.35 mm) or more on freezer walls.
NOTE: Frost tends to accumulate more during the summer months.
IMPORTANT:
•
Do not use mechanical devices to defrost freezer.
•
Do not use boiling water as it may damage the freezer.
1. Remove food and ice cube tray from the freezer, and place the drip tray under
the compartment.
2. Turn the temperature control to “0” (Off position) and unplug the unit.
NOTE: Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the door
open and place a bowl of warm water in the refrigerator.
3. When defrosting is complete, empty water from the drip tray, and then wash the
drip tray in warm water and dry it thoroughly.
4. Wipe the interior of the freezer compartment with a soft cloth.
