Defrosting the Refrigerator
•This appliance uses a static (fanless) cooling system and there is typically little air flow within
the appliance. There will be a small buildup of ice on the back of the appliance which is
visible. This is normal and no action needs to be taken.
•The plastic scraper supplied with this appliance can be used to remove a large buildup of ice
on the back panel of the appliance and/or freezerette.
•The freezer may occasionally have a buildup of ice. This is dependent on a variety of reasons
such as frequent opening of the door, humidity levels or seasonal changes. May need to be
defrosted from time to time or scraped out with the provided plastic tool.
•If defrosting is required disconnect the appliance from the power supply and gently wipe down
surfaces with a dry cloth. Place a towel in the appliance to collect any excess water.
Water Drain Port
•The water drain port at the bottom of the refrigerator collects condensate from the rear wall of
the fridge and funnels it down to the drain pan where it is then assists in the cooling process.

ENERGY SAVINGS TIPS
Do not install the fridge close to sources of heat, such as a stove, boiler, heater, chimney, etc, and
avoid exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.
Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents of the
compressor housing cover are not obstructed. Also allow adequate spacing around the cabinet for
air circulation (2”).
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all food and liquids in airtight packages or
containers.
Always keep food stored in tightly sealed packaging or containers, and allow some space for air to
circulate around each item.
Avoid keeping the door open for extended periods of time or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to run unnecessarily.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing properly and forming a tight seal.

CLEANING
Unplug the appliance from the power source before cleaning.
Do not use large amounts of water or liquid when cleaning the appliance as this
may affect electrical components and insulating properties of the appliance.
