Defrosting your refrigerator
This refrigerator is not designed to defrost automatically. In order to prevent
damage to the interior liner of the refrigerator from excessive frost build-up,
defrost the refrigerator every three months or when ice or frost is approximately
¼” (6 mm) thick inside the freezer compartment.
1 Set the thermostat to “0”, then remove all contents from the freezer
compartment.
2 Leave the freezer door open to allow accumulated ice and frost to melt.
Remove large pieces of ice as needed.
3 After defrosting, remove accumulated ice and water, then wipe the freezer
compartment dry with a soft cloth.
4 Even though ice is not visibly present in the freezer compartment, allow the
evaporator, located behind the freezer wall, to completely defrost for
approximately two hours (total) before restarting the refrigerator.
5 Restart following the instructions in “Setting the thermostat” on page 9.
Reversing the door position
Your refrigerator is built with a reversible door. Based on the location where you
plan to use your compact refrigerator, you may find it more convenient to reverse
the position of the door, to have it open from right to left instead of left to right.
Before you begin
You will need: A 10 mm socket driver and a Phillips screw driver.
• Make sure that your refrigerator is unplugged and empty.
• Have someone available to assist you in the process.
• Keep all of the parts you remove to reuse them later.
• Removing the door requires that the refrigerator be tilted backwards. Rest the
refrigerator on something solid, such as a chair, just below the top panel.
• Do not lay the refrigerator completely flat so that you do not damage the
coolant system.
Removing the door
1 Remove the screw holding the top hinge cover to the top of your refrigerator,
then remove the top hinge cover.
2 Remove the screws holding the top hinge to your refrigerator, then remove
the hinge. Pull the freezer door upwards and remove it from the refrigerator.
CAUTION:
• Do not use hot water or electric heating devices to melt the accumulated ice.
• The refrigerator door must remain closed while defrosting the freezer.
CAUTION: To avoid injury to yourself or your property, we recommend that
someone assist you during the door reversal process.
