To clean your refrigerator, turn the Temperature Control to “OFF,”unplug it, take out all removable parts, and clean it according to the following directions and chart.

There is a cold plate on the back wall at the top of the refrlgerator section, When the refrigerator motor runs, frost collects on the cold plate. When the motor turns off, the frost melts.

Water from this melted frost drips into a drain trough just below the cold plate. Then it runs down the back wall and through the drain just above the crisper. The drain leads to a de- frost water pan on the top of the re-

frigerator motor. Heat from the motor
