of the freezer compartment.

PRODUCT CARE

DEFROSTING
1. Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main
power ON/OFF button (OFF position).
2. Empty the refrigerator.
3. Leave the cabinet and freezer doors open and
make sure the drip tray is in place under the
finned evaporator.
Defrosting time can be reduced by filling ice trays
with hot water and placing them in the freezer com-
partment.
FIRE AND INHALATION HAZARD. Do not use
a knife, ice pick, or any other sharp tool to
remove frost from the freezer compartment.
Failure to obey this warning could cause a
leak in the ammonia cooling system which
could lead to a fire hazard resulting in death
or serious injury.
An ammonia leak also poses an inhalation
hazard, and could cause chemical burns to
the skin and eyes. Exposure to a high con-
centration of ammonia could result in death
or serious injury.
Do not use a hot air blower to remove frost
from the freezer compartment. Permanent
damage could result from warping the metal
or plastic parts.
4. When all the frost has melted, dry the interior
with a clean cloth and turn the refrigerator back
on.

5. Set the thermostat to the coldest setting for a
few hours. Then, reset the thermostat to the
desired setting, usually at mid setting. Replace
food after refrigerator has reached appropriate
cool temperature.

Ice will be made more rapidly if the thermostat is set at its
highest position, but be sure to move the thermostat back
to normal setting when ice is formed; the refrigerator might
otherwise become too cold.
