Defrosting
Freezer models and the freezer compartment of refrigerator-freezers require manual defrosting. For
the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost on
the freezer walls is
excessive or ¼ to ½” thick.
CAUTION: Never use boiling water to defrost because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition,
never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost, as it may damage the cooling
coils and will void your warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
To Defrost:
1. Remove any stored items from the unit and place it in another cooling device
2. Turn the thermostat off and unplug your freezer, leaving the door open to help speed up the
defrosting process
3. Use a sponge or toweling to remove water and melting ice from the freezer floor. Pouring warm
(not boiling) water on the ice/frost may also help speed the defrosting process.
4. Clean and thoroughly dry the freezer interior
5. Close the door and plug the freezer in, resetting the thermostat to the desired setting
6. Allow several hours for the cabinet to reach the proper storage temperature
Shelves
To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door all the way open when pulling the
shelves out of the rail compartment.
Any of the shelves can be removed to store larger items.
•
When removing the shelf from the rail compartment, make sure to remove all items first. Then
move the shelf to the position where the notch of the shelf is exactly under the plastic post and
lift the shelf. In order to replace the shelf, repeat steps described above in reverse.
