CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Defrost
•
The ice build-up on the inner back wall during compressor operation will be automatically
defrosted in a compressor off cycle.
•
When defrosting is in process, the indicators
for both zones will run.
•
Each zone has its own drip pan placed at the bottom against rear wall. (See illustration on page
2.)
•
Defrost water will drain into the drip pans. Water accumulated in the drip pans should be
discarded periodically. It is recommended to empty the drip pans every second or third week.
(You will learn how often to empty the drip pans is practicable for your local climate.)
