Defrosting the Unit
•
To ensure optimal performance, unit should be defrosted when the thickness of the ice on the cabinet wall

Wipe down the inside of the cabinet with a cloth, and then plug the unit back in and allow it to get back to optimal
serving temperature before inserting product.
CAUTION:
Setting the temperature control to the coldest setting may cause the evaporator coil to freeze and ice up.
This will eventually result in a warmer cabinet temperature.
