DEFROSTING
Moisture contained in food and air may form a layer of frost inside the unit after a period of use.
Defrost when frost becomes ¼” thick.
Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to scrape off frost – this will damage the inner casing
or the cooling coils.
Defrosting in the freezer chamber is operated manually:
•
Before defrosting, remove food and ice tray from the refrigerator.
•
Turn the temperature control knob to OFF (0) position.
•
Place the drip tray under the evaporator to collect melted water.
•
Leave the door open until ice and frost dissolves thoroughly.
•
Empty the drip tray and wipe the interior dry with a soft cloth.
•
To speed up the defrosting process, you may put a bowl of warm water (120ºF) into the chamber.
•
Be sure to set the temperature control knob back to desired setting after defrosting.
DO NOT pour hot water directly into compartment or heat with hair dryer while defrosting, which may
deform the inner case.

When performing maintenance, make absolutely sure that the power plug is disconnected.
