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.
