Defrosting Your Freezer
• For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the
freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive (
V
a
to
Vi
inch thick).
® Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp
or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the
warranty. We recommend using the plastic scraper provided with your unit.
Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
Turn the thermostat knob to "OFF”.
Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light should be off (green light out).
During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out.
Place a shallow pan or drip tray outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
