D÷frosting Your Refrigerator (seeFig,# 6)
• 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, remove the food and ice cube tray from the freezer section.
Make sure the drip tray is under the freezer section and turn off the
thermostat. Defrosting may take a few hours.
• While defrosting, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The drip tray
may also need to be emptied during the defrost process.
Do not leave unattended. (see Fig. 6)
• After defrosting, empty and wipe down the drip tray, as well as the
interior of the refrigerator.
