DEFROSTING
Under normal conditions this unit does not require manual
defrosting. Minor frost on the rear wall or visible through
the evaporator plate vents is normal and will melt during
each cycle.
If there is excessive build-up of 1/4” (6 mm) or more,
manually defrost the unit.
Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly.
High ambient temperature and excessive humidity can also
produce frost.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp instrument
to help speed up defrosting. These instruments
can puncture the inner lining or damage the
cooling unit. DO NOT use any type of heater to
defrost. Using a heater to speed up defrosting can
cause personal injury and damage to the inner
lining.
NOTICE
The drain pan was not designed to capture the
water created when manually defrosting. To
prevent water from overflowing the drain pan
and possibly damaging water sensitive flooring,
the unit must be removed from cabinetry.
To defrost:
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Remove all products from the interior
3. Prop the door in an open position (2 in. [50 mm]
minimum).
4. Allow the frost to melt naturally.
5. After the frost melts completely, clean the interior and
all removed components. (See INTERIOR CLEANING).
6. When the interior is dry, reconnect power and turn
unit on.
