hours and should not affect the internal temperature
of the appliance if the number of times the door is
opened is kept to a minimum.
If power is lost, the appliance will keep all settings
in its memory and will resume normal functioning
automatically when power is restored.

Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting
to restart the refrigerator if operation has been
interrupted.
DEFROST
This appliance is equipped with an automatic
defrost function and does not require manual
