DEFROSTING
This appliance is equipped with a “Frost Free” type cooling system, which means it never has to be
manually defrosted. Defrosting is done automatically by means of a defrost heating element and a defrost
timer that will cycle on and off as the appliance operates. The defrost water is routed into a defrost pan
located beside the compressor, where it then evaporates.
