Specifications
Defrosting
(GXCF20E/GXCF20FBB Chiller Model)
Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the chiller compartment becomes
excessive.
Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost
as it may damage the liner.
We recommend using a plastic scraper.
Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your chiller compartment.
To defrost:
■
Remove items from the compartment.
■
Turn the Cold (Blue) Power switch to off and unplug
the dispenser.
■
Put several towels in the bottom of the compartment
to collect water.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster,
keep the door open.
After defrosting:
■
Remove the wet towels and wipe up any remaining water.
■
Wipe the compartment with a dry cloth.
■
Plug in the unit and turn on the Cold (Blue) power switch.
Return items to the unit.
