DEFROSTING YOUR APPLIANCE
Defrost the freezer compartment whenever the layer of frost on the surface of the evaporator reaches 1/4 inch or 3 or 4 mm.
When defrosting, remove all food and set the thermostat to the "OFF" or "0" position. Put the drip tray under the evaporator to
collect melted water. After the frost has melted, discard the melted water and dry up the interior of refrigerator. The refrigerator
can then be restarted by turning its thermostat to the desired setting.
Important: You must remember to close the refrigerator door before the defrost cycle terminates and normal operating
conditions resume automatically. The drip tray should be in position directly below the freezer compartment to catch
condensed water during defrosting.
Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice from the freezer compartment. The freezer compartment contains
refrigerated gas lines and if accidentally punched/pierced, will render the refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturer's
warranty.
DO NOT ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO CONTINUE OPERATION IF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT IS
PIERCED.
After defrosting is complete, set the control to maximum for 2 to 3 hours before returning to the desired position. Should the
freezer be stored without use for long periods, it is suggested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the lid open to allow the air to cir-
culate inside the unit in order to avoid the possibility of
condensation, mold or odors.
Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.
