Defrosting Your Refrigerator

1. To defrost the refrigerator, remove all food and
objects from the refrigerator. Ensure the drip pan is
in place under the freezer compartment. Unplug the
unit and ensure the cord is in safe dry location. The
defrost process may take a few hours. To speed up
the defrost time, keep the door open and place a
bowl of warm water in the refrigerator. Never use
sharp objects to remove the frost.
2. During the defrost cycle, water will accumulate in
the drip tray. The drip tray may need to be emptied
during the defrost cycle. Do not leave unattended.

CARE AND CLEANING

3. After defrosting is complete, empty and wipe
down the drip tray, as well as the interior of the
refrigerator. You may now reset the refrigerator to
the desired temperature and put the food back in.

Cleaning the Inside

Wash inside surfaces of the refrigerator with a solution
of two tablespoons of baking soda in one quart (1.136
litres) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water out
of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area of the
controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution
mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water.
Rinse and dry. Never use metallic scouring pads,
brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any
surface. Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.

Cleaning the Outside

Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid
detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft
cloth.
