DEFROSTING
It is important to defrost and clean the unit when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has accumulated inside
the unit or around the evaporator coils or when the unit will not maintain proper temperature.
When defrosting becomes necessary, turn the unit off by disconnecting it from the power
source. DO NOT ADJUST THE THERMOSTAT. Remove the product and leave the door open
while defrosting the evaporator. The frost should melt and drain through the drain tube to the
drain pan under the unit. Place towels in the bottom of the unit as necessary to help absorb the
melted frost. Once the unit is defrosted, clean it using the cleaning suggestions in the table
above. Wipe away any excess water and return the unit to service per the "Normal Operation"
section of this manual.
