CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•
Defrosting Your Refrigerator
Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick.
Set the thermostat dial to “OFF” position. Remove frozen or perishable foods. Defrosting usually
takes a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat dial to the desired position. To defrost
quickly remove all foods from the refrigerator and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other
metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.
