Care & Cleaning - Crosley Conservator User & Care Manual

Automatic Defrost
The appliance is equipped with automatic
defrost capability so that you do not have
to manually defrost. The cooling element
of the unit is regularly heated to melt the
frost that forms on it.
The resulting water drains through a duct
at the back of the unit and into a concealed
pan at the base of the unit where it
evaporates. Should any frost form on the
unit interior walls, remove food and store
it elsewhere. Then unplug the unit, wait
long enough for the frost to melt, and wipe
up the moisture with a dry towel.
Rear Wheels
The appliance is equipped with rear
wheels to help you roll it into or out of a
location.
CAUTION: Obtain the aid of an assistant
if the appliance feels too heavy for you to
safely move it.
Interior LED Lighting
The appliance features interior LED
lighting, which is more effective and
longer lasting than incandescent bulbs.
However, in the unlikely event that the
LED fails to light, call 1-833-946-4239 to
schedule repair service to replace it.
