DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
This refrigerator is equipped with a manual
defrost system. The appliance should be defrosted
approximately every six months or any time the
layer of frost inside the freezer compartment
reaches 6 mm (1/4") thick. Defrosting may
take a few hours, depending on the amount
of accumulated ice and the ambient indoor
temperature.
To begin the defrosting process, remove all food
from the appliance and unplug it from the power
source. The ice from the freezer section will melt
and drain into a pan above the compressor where it
will evaporate. To speed up the defrosting process,
leave the doors open.
Monitor the refrigerator closely during the defrosting
process to avoid water spilling and causing damage
to fl ooring or counter tops.
Once defrosting is complete, set the thermostat
control to the maximum setting and allow the
appliance the run empty for approximately 2 - 3
hours before returning to the desired setting and
replacing food.
Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to
remove ice from the freezer compartment. The
freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas
lines and if accidentally pierced it will render the
refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers
warranty. Do not allow the refrigerator to continue
operation if the freezer compartment is pierced.
