Defrost whenever frost on the wall of
the freezer compartment becomes
1/8" thick. Never use a sharp or
metallic instrument to remove frost as
it may damage the cooling coils.
(A punctured cooling coil will cause
serious damage to the product and
will void the warranty). We do not
recommend using any kind of
scraper. Do not use any electrical
device in defrosting your freezer.
Unplug the freezer. Remove all foods
from the freezer drawers. Remove
freezer drawers and slide a shallow
pan under the freezer using the
opening between the bottom legs.
Push out the drain plug and allow
defrost water to drain into pan.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours.
To quicken defrosting you may, keep
the freezer door open. After defrost-
ing, empty water from the drip tray.
Be sure to check the pan to avoid
overfill.
Sponge remaining water from the
bottom before cleaning. After
defrosting, clean the inside of the
freezer (see care and cleaning).
After cleaning be sure to push in the
drain plug and remove the drip pan
carefully. Replace freezer drawers
and plug in the freezer and return
the temperature to its previous
position. Now return food to freezer.
