OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
This refrigerator is equipped with a “Push Button”defrost system. To activate the defrost cycle, push the red
defrost button located on the center ofthe thermostat dial. The defrost cycle is initiated immediately.
When defrosting is complete, the red button will release and the refrigerator will resume normal operating
conditions.
Note:
If the red defrost button is pressed accidentally, it is not possible to manually deactivate the defrost cycle.
The defrost cycle must be allowed to run its course.
Defrosting the refrigerator should take place whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment reaches
6 mm (1/4”) thick. Defrosting may take a few hours, depending on the amount of accumulated ice and
ambient indoor temperature.
To speed up the defrosting process, remove all frozen foods from the freezer section and leave the door open
for a short period of time.
Monitor the refrigerator closely during the defrosting process to avoid water spilling and causing damage to
fl ooring or counter tops.
Important:
Remember to close the refrigerator door before the defrost cycle terminates and normal operating
conditions resume. The drip tray should be in position directly below the freezer compartment to
catch condensed water during defrosting.
Note:
Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice from the freezer compartment. The freezer
compartment contains refrigerated gas lines and if accidentally pierced it will render the refrigerator
inoperable and void the manufacturers warranty. Do not allow the refrigerator to continue operation if
the freezer compartment is pierced.
