Defrosting Your Refrigerator; Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear - HOMCOM 800-126V70 Manual De Instrucciones

Defrosting Your Refrigerator (see fig. # 3)
• For maximum energy efficiency, defrost freezer section whenever frost
accumulates to a thickness of 1/4" or more on freezer walls. Note that frost
tends to accumulate more during the summer months.
• To defrost freezer, remove food and ice cube tray from the freezer section. Your
model requires you to place the drip tray under the freezer section (see Fig. 3).
To defrost turn the temperature control dial to the 0 position. Defrosting may
take a few hours. To speed up defrost time, keep the door open and place a
bowl of warm water in the refrigerator.
• During the defrost cycle, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The drip tray
may also need to be emptied during the defrost process. Do not leave
unattended.
• After defrosting, empty and wipe down the drip tray, as well as the interior of the
refrigerator. You may now reset your refrigerator to the desired temperature
and return food.

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the
refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
