DEFROSTING
It
is
important
to
defrost
and
clean
the
unit
when
¼
to
½
inch
of
frost
has
accumulated
around
the
condenser
tubes
or
when
the
unit
will
not
maintain
proper
temperature.
When
defrosting
becomes
necessary,
press
the
DEF
key
for
2
seconds.
The
compressor
will
stop.
Remove
the
product
and
leave
the
door
open
while
defrosting
the
evaporator.
The
frost
should
melt
and
drain
through
the
drain
tube
to
the
drain
pan
under
the
unit.
Once
the
unit
is
defrosted,
clean
it
using
the
cleaning
suggestions
in
the
table
above.
Wipe
away
any
excess
water.
After
25
minutes,
the
unit
will
automatically
return
to
normal
operation.
If
you
wish
to
end
the
defrost
cycle
early,
simply
press
the
DEF
key
again
for
2
seconds.
The
defrost
icon
will
extinguish
on
the
display
and
the
compressor
will
return
to
normal
cycling
operation.
