MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator There is usually no need to defrost the refrigerator because the ice deposited on the inner back wall is automatically defrosted. Ice deposits on the inner back wall during compressor operation. Later on, when the compressor is not operating, the ice defrosts and water drains through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor where it evaporates.
Cleaning the Appliance Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance. Do not use coarse or abrasive cleaning agents as you can damage the surface of the appliance. Periodic cleaning of the beer dispenser is necessary. A complete cleaning kit is provided for your convenience.
