Defrosting Your Refrigerator
• For maximum energy efficiency, defrost freezer section whenever frost accumulates to a thickness
of 1/4" or more on freezer walls. Note that frost tends to accumulate more during the summer
months.
(see fig. #9)
1. To defrost freezer remove all food and the ice cube tray from the unit. Make sure the convertible
storage / drip pan is in place under the freezer compartment. Press in defrost button located on
the temperature control. Defrosting may take a few hours. To speed up defrost time, keep the door
open and place a bowl of warm water in the refrigerator. Never use sharp objects to remove
frost.
2. During the defrost cycle, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The drip tray may also need to be
emptied during the defrost process. Do not leave unattended.
3. After defrosting, empty and wipe down the drip tray, as well as the interior of the refrigerator. You
may now reset your refrigerator to the desired temperature and return food.
