Defrosting your freezer
For your freezer to operate most efficiently and with minimum energy
consumption, it should be defrosted when the frost on the freezer walls or door is
in excess of .2 to .4 inches (5 to 10 mm) thick. To minimize food spoilage, choose a
time when your stock of frozen food is low.
The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed when
defrosting your freezer. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the top open
helps speed the process.
It’s recommended to clean the freezer each time you defrost it. See “Maintaining
your freezer” on page 10 for more information.
1 Remove the frozen food from your freezer and place it in a refrigerator or
cooler to protect the food.
2 Turn the thermostat knob to OFF, then unplug your freezer.
3 Place a shallow pan under the drainage hole on the outside of your freezer to
catch the water from melted ice.
4 Remove the drain plug inside your freezer.
5 Pull the water conduit on the outside of the freezer completely out to let water
drain from the freezer.
6 When your freezer has defrosted, clean the interior of your freezer.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not use boiling water to defrost your freezer because it may damage the
plastic parts. You can use warm water to speed up the process.
• Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage
the cooling coils and void the warranty.
Note: Check the pan occasionally to make sure that the water doesn’t overflow.
