Caution
Do not use any sharp instrument,
blade or scraper to remove ice
and frost on refrigerator surfaces
because of the very real danger of
puncturing the cooling coil.
Caution
Do not use any electrical device
to defrost the unit.
When frost accumulates to 1/4" or
more, the operating efficiency of
the unit will be affected.

Manu al Defrost Procedure
For the most efficient operation and minimum energy
consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost on the
freezer walls is excessive or 1/4 inch thick.
1. To start defrosting, unplug the freezer and remove the
samples.
2. Use a sponge or towel to remove water and melting ice from
the freezer floor. After the frost or ice has melted, dry the
interior of the freezer thoroughly.
3. Restart the freezer by plugging it in and turning the thermostat
to its highest setting, 6, for at least two hours. Once it is cold,
return the food to the freezer. Don't forget to return the
thermostat to its normal setting.
Do not use boiling water to help speed up the defrosting
because this could damage the plastic parts of the unit. In
addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove
frost or separate frozen items as this could damage the
cooling coils.We recommend using a plastic scraper.
