High ambient temperature and excessive humidity can
also produce frost.
CAUTION
DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp
instrument to help speed up defrosting. These
instruments can puncture the inner lining or
damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use any type of
heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up
defrosting can cause personal injury and damage
to the inner lining.
NOTICE
The drain pan was not designed to capture the
water created when manually defrosting. To
prevent water from overflowing the drain pan,
place towels or other absorbent materials over
the interior drain trough (under the evaporator)
before defrosting.
To defrost:
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Remove all products from the interior.
3. Prop the door in an open position (2 in. [50 mm] minimum).
4. Allow the frost to melt naturally.
5. After the frost melts completely clean the interior and all removed components. (See
INTERIOR CLEANING).
6. When the interior is dry, reconnect power and turn unit on.
