Defrosting
The refrigerator compartment
defrosts automatically. The water
that forms on the rear wall
drains into a reservoir at the
back of the appliance and
evaporates automatically
through the compressor heat.
Ensure the defrost water can flow freely through
the drain hole in the rear wall
(Figure 8)

Keep your stainless steel looking new by cleaning
with a good quality stainless steel cleaner or polish
monthly. High quality stainless steel cleaners and
conditioners are commercially available.

ABRASIVE PADS. DO NOT use cleaners that are
not for use on stainless steel, such as glass, tile
or counter cleaners.These types of cleaners
can damage the surface permanently.

moisture may have some discoloration. This
discoloration is normal. If your unit is used in this
environment, clean and polish your stainless steel
more often.
