Operating Instructions
Defrosting the appliance
Ice and frost may build up in the freezer compartment. Ice build up can increase energy consumption.
If the frost layer reaches 3 - 5 mm thick, the appliance should be manually defrosted.
1. Remove all contents from the appliance.
2. Unplug the appliance and allow it to stand undisturbed until the frost has melted. Prop the
doors open if necessary.
3. Place a towel or pan under the appliance during the defrosting process to catch any excess
melted water.
4. Monitor the appliance during the defrosting process to ensure water does not damage flooring
or surrounding furniture.
Note:
Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice from the freezer compartment. The
freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas lines and if they are accidentally pierced it will render
the refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers warranty. Do not allow the refrigerator to continue
operation if the freezer compartment is pierced.
