Defrosting Your Refrigerator
(see fig. # 3)
• For maximum energy efficiency, defrost freezer section whenever frost
accumulates to a thickness of 1/4" or more on freezer walls. Note that
frost tends to accumulate more during the summer months.
• To defrost freezer, remove food and ice cube tray from the freezer
section. Your model requires you to place the drip tray under the
freezer section (see Fig. 3). To defrost turn the temperature control
dial to the 0 position. Defrosting may take a few hours. To speed up
defrost time, keep the door open and place a bowl of warm water in
the refrigerator.
• During the defrost cycle, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The
drip tray may also 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 and return food.
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of
the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
