Care

Maintenance

Cooling

System

This

refrigerator

is

inclusive

of

a

"frost

free"

type

cooling

system,

which

means

you

never

have

to

defrost

the

freezer

compartment.

Defrosting

is

done

automatically

by

means

of

a

defrost

heating

element

and

a

defrost

timer

factory

programmed

to

operate

(cycle)

approximately

every

8

hours.

The

defrost

water

is

routed

into

a

defrost

pan

located

directly

above

the

compressor

from

where

it

evaporates.

Before

cleaning

the

refrigerator

or

minimize

the
