defrost the refrigerator. It will not hurt the fridge to have the ice buildup, if it gets too
thick with will act as an insulator and hamper the cooling ability of the fridge.
Defrosting can be done with the fridge running if so desired. Simply open both doors and
turn thermostat to min, or fully counter clockwise. Once the ice starts to melt a towel can
be placed under the evaporator fins in the fridge, then pull off the ice. Wipe the fins clean
and shut both doors. For the freezer, defrosting time can be reduced by filling a tray with
hot water and placing it in the freezer compartment, again wipe clean with a towel once
melted.

RIDGE SECTION
Inside the refrigerator compartment, the defrost water runs from a collector channel to a
drip tray/cup at the rear of the refrigerator where it normally evaporates. If heavy frost
has built up on the cooling fins creating a lot of defrost water, be aware that your water
reservoir may overflow; we suggest you inspect reservoir before/after cycle.
FREEZER SECTION
This area must be wiped down with cloths to remove water after defrosting; there is no
drain for this compartment.
Note: When all frost has melted in the freezer compartment & interior of the refrigerator
it should be wiped up with a clean cloth. Set the thermostat to its max position until
desired interior temperature has been achieved, approximately 8 plus hrs dependent on
room temperature, and then replace all food.
Cleaning
Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage. To clean
the interior liner of the refrigerator, use a lukewarm water and weak soda solution. Use
only warm water to clean the finned evaporator, gasket, ice trays and shelves.
Never use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean these parts as the
protective surfaces will be damaged. It is important to always keep the
refrigerator clean. Dishwasher detergent is recommended.
