• Press the defrost button to shut down the cooling system. When the process has com-
pleted, the cooling system will automatically restart.

• If the appliance door is opened frequently or its used in a high humidity area, we advise

ambient temperature.

door open any longer than necessary.
• Do not set the temperature any colder than necessary.
