Defrosting and Draining the Freezer:

• Defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4" thick. Never use a sharp or

metallic instrument to remove the frost as it may damage the cooling

coils. (A punctured coil will void the warranty)

• Turn the temperature control to OFF position and unplug the unit.

Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer (see fig. #3a).

Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the

freezer door open.

• For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the

drain dial (see fig. #3b) and rotate it so that the arrow points down-

ward. This will let the water flow out in the tray. When done, push the

drain dial in and turn the arrow to the up position. Re-plug the drain

plug inside the freezer compartment. Note: monitor the container under

the drain to avoid overflow.

• Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in

the electrical outlet.

• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
