DEFROSTING
The refrigerator features an automatic cycle defrosting system. The refrigerator has a cold plate located behind the back wall of the
cabinet. Ice builds-up on the back wall while compressor operation is normal. When the compressor has cycled off, accumulated ice
will automatically defrost. The defrost water will pass through the drain outlet located at the bottom of the cabinet and funnel into a
pan situated above the compressor. With the heat of the compressor, the water will gradually evaporate.
Reminder; keep the drain opening clear of residues. If the outlet is not kept clean it may result in an overflowing causing the
water to accumulate at the bottom of the refrigerator, and eventually leaking on the floor.
