Care & Cleaning - Kenmore 111 Series Use & 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
1-844-553-6667 to schedule repair service
to replace it.

Damp objects stick to cold metal

both ends and push upward.
