Defrosting
1. Defrost the freezer compartment whenever the layer of frost on the
surface of the evaporator (at the inside back of the refrigerator) reaches
3 or 4 mm.
2. When defrosting remove all food and ice cube tray and set the
thermostat at the “OFF” position.
3. Put the drip tray under the evaporator to collect water.
4. After the frost has melted, discard the water and clean the interior of
refrigerator, following the instructions in the Cleaning section.
5. The refrigerator can then be restarted by turning its thermostat to the
desired setting.
Power Failure

the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the
door is opened.
NOTE:
If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off; you must wait
3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before
this time delay, damage may occur and or the appliance may not start.
