Defrosting Your Refrigerator (See Fig 6)
• For maximum energy efficiency, defrost the freezer section whenever frost accumulates to a thickness of
1/4” or more on freezer walls. Note that frost tends to accumulate during the summer months.
• To defrost the freezer, remove food and the ice cube tray from the freezer section to a cooler. Make
sure the drip tray is under the freezer section and turn the temperature control dial to the OFF position.
Defrosting may take a few hours. To speed up the defrost time, keep the door open and place a bowl
of warm water in the refrigerator.
• While defrosting, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The drip tray may need to be emptied during
the defrost process. Do not leave unattended.
• After defrosting, empty and wipe down the drip tray, as well as the interior of the refrigerator.
You may now reset your refrigerator to the desired temperature. Wait 2-3 hours for the refrigerator to
cool to the desired temperature before replacing the food.
