Defrosting Mode
Using the Defrosting Mode
Defrost the freezer regularly to keep it working
efficiently. Once a month, unplug the power cord
and allow the entire freezer to defrost.
CAUTION
• Do not use sharp implements or metal tools to
remove ice or frost from the cabinet or the main
shelves (evaporator). The resulting damage or
punctured evaporators will not be covered
under the warranty.
1 Keep food well wrapped before defrosting. If
food thaws, do not refreeze it. Either store the
food in the freezer or cook and eat it.
2 To defrost the freezer, turn the temperature
control dial to the 0 (OFF) setting.
• Make sure that the drip tray is properly
installed so water will collect in the tray.
3 Once finished defrosting, remember to reset
the temperature control dial to its original
setting.
4 Remove and empty the drip tray, dry it off,
and reassemble it.
NOTE
• For faster defrosting, place 1 or 2 pans filled with
warm water inside the freezer.
Storing Food
NOTE
• If you are leaving home for a short period, like a
short vacation, the freezer should be left on.
Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will
stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
