Hitachi HDF-385H - Manual (Page 10)

• Defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4" thick. Never use a sharp or
metallic instrument to remove the frost as it may damage the cooling
coils. (A punctured coil will void the warranty)
For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the
drain dial (see fig. #2a) and rotate it so that the arrow points down
ward. This will let the water flow out into the tray.
• Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer (see fig. #2b).
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the
freezer door open. When done, push the drain dial in and turn the
arrow to the up position. Re-plug the drain plug inside the freezer
compartment.Note: monitor the container under the drain to avoid
overflow.
• Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in
the electrical outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
