• Defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4" thick. Never use a sharp or
metallic instrument to remove the frost as it may damage the cooling
coils. (A punctured coil will void the warranty)
• Turn the temperature control to OFF position and unplug the unit.
Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer (see fig. #2a).
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the
freezer door open.
• For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the
drain dial (see fig. #2b) and rotate it so that the arrow points down-
ward. This will let the water flow out into the tray. When done, push the
drain dial in and turn the arrow to the up position. Re-plug the drain
plug inside the freezer compartment. Note: monitor the container under
the drain to avoid overflow.
• Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in
the electrical outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
