• Defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4" thick. Never use a sharp or
metallic instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage the cooling
coils. (A punctured coil will void the warranty)
• Turn the temperature control to OFF position and unplug the unit.
Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer. Defrosting
usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door
open.
• For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the
drain dial (see fig. #3). This will let the water flow out in the tray.
When done, push the drain dial in. Re-plug the drain plug inside the
freezer compartment. Note: monitor the container under the drain to
avoid overflow.
• Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in
the electrical outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
