When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when
the frost is excessive or ¼ to ½ inch thick.

WARNING
Scraping ice from the freezer compartment can damage the unit.
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.
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.
