2.Defrost Drain 2

6.Replace the convertible compartment.

7.Remove the meat pan (see “Refrigerator Features”).

8.Place a container on the top shelf directly underneath defrost drain 2. Water from the melting ice will flow through the convertible compartment and into the container.

NOTE: Check the container frequently to avoid water overflow. Have a second pan handy for easier emptying.

9.Place a pan of hot water in the freezer with the door open to speed melting. Directing air from an electric fan into the freezer will also help. Do not place the fan or any electrical device in freezer.

10.Use a plastic scraper to remove frost.

NOTE: Do not use an ice pick, knife, or other sharp-pointed tool to defrost freezer. Damage can occur.

11.Wipe water from walls with a towel or sponge.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations

If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you’re away, use up any perishables and freeze other items.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave, follow these steps.

1.Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

2.Turn the control to the off position. See the “Using the Control” and “Defrost and Clean the Freezer” sections.

3.Clean the refrigerator, and dry it well.

4.Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.

1.Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

2.Turn the control to the off position. See the “Using the Control” and “Defrost and Clean the Freezer” sections.
