OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEFROSTING
This appliance should be defrosted approximately
twice a year or when a 6 mm (1/4 inch) layer of
frost has formed.
Unplug the appliance, remove all contents and
leave the lid open. Follow the instructions below:
1. The interior defrost drain is located on the inside
fl oor of the cabinet. Remove the cover from the
defrost drain. Defrosted water will fl ow into the
hole and out through the exterior defrost drain
cap. See Figure 1.
2. The exterior defrost drain cap is located on the
front of the cabinet. Gently pull out the exterior
drain cap approximately 20 - 25 mm until the
water hole is visible. See Figure 2.
3. Twist the exterior drain cap so that the arrow
points downward. See Figure 3.
4. Place a bucket or pan under the drain cap to
catch defrosted water. Check the appliance
regularly during defrosting to ensure that the
water is not overfl owing.
5. When all water has been drained, twist the
drain cap until the arrow is pointing upwards
and then push inward until it is fl ush with the
cabinet. See Figure 4.
6. Replace the cover in the interior defrost drain.
After defrosting is complete, set the temperature
control to maximum for 2 to 3 hours before
returning to the desired temperature setting.

IMPORTANT

Never use electrical appliances during
defrosting. Do not use pointed or sharp
objects to remove frost as this can damage the
refrigerant lines. If these lines are accidentally
pierced it will render the freezer inoperable and
void the manufacturer's warranty.
