DEFROSTING
Manual Defrost Models
This unit is a manual defrost model and will require
occasional defrosting. When there is build-up of 1/4"
(6 mm) or more of frost, manually defrost the unit.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp
instrument to help speed up defrosting. These
instruments can puncture the inner lining or
damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use any type of
heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up
defrosting can cause personal injury and
damage to the inner lining.
To defrost:
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Remove ice bucket and discard ice.
3. Place towel or other absorbent material on bottom of
ice bin.
4. Fill the ice bucket half full with warm, not hot water.
This will help the unit defrost faster.
5. Place the ice bucket back into the unit on top of the
towel or other absorbent material.
6. Prop the door in an open position (2 in. [50 mm]
minimum).
7. After about 1 hour remove the ice bin and discard
water.
8. Allow the frost to melt naturally.
9. After the frost melts completely clean the interior and
all removed components. (See INTERIOR CLEANING).
NOTICE
DO NOT clean ice bucket using a dishwasher. The
bucket is not dishwasher safe and will be
damaged.
10.When the interior is dry, reconnect power and turn unit
on.
NOTE: To safeguard against contaminates in ice, discard
first three batches of ice after defrosting.
