Freezing Fresh Food
Make sure that your freezing operations are carried

foodstuffs into the refrigerator. Prior to storing the
fresh food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminum sheets
or freezing containers and place into the
refrigerator.
Defrosting
You may defrost this refrigerator once every few
months or whenever ¼” of frost develops in on the
walls.
Remove the electrical plug from the wall socket,
open the door and remove all contents. Defrost
using a plastic scraper, or let the temperature rise
naturally until the frost melts, then wipe away the
remaining ice and water. You may also want to
clean the unit at this time. Once you have finished,
plug the refrigerator back in and make sure the
temperature knob is still set where you would like it
to be set.
Note that under refrigerating settings, the unit will
automatically defrost under most ambient
conditions. However, the colder the settings, the
