OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEFROSTING
This appliance should be defrosted approximately twice a
year or when a 6 mm (1/4 inch) layer of frost has formed.
Unplug the appliance, remove all contents and leave the lid
open. Follow the instructions below:
1. The interior defrost drain is located on the inside fl oor
of the cabinet. Remove the cover from the defrost drain.
Defrosted water will fl ow into the hole and out through
the exterior defrost drain cap. See Figure 1.
2. The exterior defrost drain cap is located on the front
of the cabinet. Gently pull out the exterior drain cap
approximately 20 - 25 mm until the water hole is
visible. See Figure 2.
3. Twist the exterior drain cap so that the arrow points
downward. See Figure 3.
4. Place a bucket or pan under the drain cap to catch
defrosted water. Check the appliance regularly during
defrosting to ensure that the water is not overfl owing.
5. When all water has been drained, twist the drain cap
until the arrow is pointing upwards and then push
inward until it is fl ush with the cabinet. See Figure 4.
6. Replace the cover in the interior defrost drain.
After defrosting is complete, set the temperature control to
maximum for 2 to 3 hours before returning to the desired
temperature setting.
Never use electrical appliances during defrosting. Do
not use pointed or sharp objects to remove frost as
this can damage the refrigerant lines. If these lines are
accidentally pierced it will render the freezer inoperable
and void the manufacturer's warranty.
