Defrosting
Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the Freezer compartment becomes
1/4thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as
it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause
serious problems and void the warranty.) We recommend using a plastic scraper.
Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your refrigerator.
To defrost:
Remove foods from the Freezer and Fresh Food compartments.
Set the temperature control dial to 0.
Place a towel in the Freezer Compartment to soak up water.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the
door open. Also using a hair dryer on the
low
setting may speed
defrosting.
Warning: using excessive heat may damage the plastic liner !
Do not pour water into the Freezer or Fr
esh Food compartments.
After defrosting:
Empty water from the drip tray. Wash the tray with warm water.
Wipe the Freezer and Fresh Food compartments with a damp cloth.
Turn the temperature control to the desired setting and
return food to the refrigerator.
NOTE: If ice buildup is very thick, it may keep the ice tray compartment door
from opening or closing completely. Don’t try to force it open; after defrosting, the
door will open and close easily.
