HELPFUL HINT:
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the
process. Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed melting,
if you must use a scraper-please use caution-it is very easy to damage the freezer
compartment and void your warranty.
