HOW TO DEFROST
Defrost the freezer compartment when the ice I frost are approximately¼" thick or about
every 3 months, whichever comes first. Set the thermostat dial to "0" to defrost. Remove all
contents from the freezer compartment. Leave the freezer door open to allow any
accumulated ice/ frost to melt. Remove large pieces of ice as needed. Do not use hot water
or other electric heating devices to melt the accumulated ice. After defrosting, remove
accumulated ice/ water and wipe the freezer compartment dry with a soft cloth. In the event
that the ice is not visibly present in the freezer compartment, please allow the evaporator
located behind the freezer wall to completely defrost for approximately 2 hours before
restarting the unit. Restart the unit per starting instructions.
