cycle) You must either let the defrost cycle run it's course or;

" Apply (hold) a dishcloth soaked in hot water

against the thermoslat capillary line and bracket, located on the underside of the freezer

compartment. The heat transfer from the dish cloth will cause a temperature rise on the thermostat

capillary', (sensing line) causing the inlernal contacts to close. Thls wilt resume normal operating

conditions. It may take several minutes and/or repeat

applications before the push button writ release.

Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place whenever tce build-up inside the freezer compadment reaches 1/4" (dram) thick. Defrosting mpy lake a few hours, depending on the amount of

accumulated ice and amblent Indoor temperature. To speed-up the defrosting process, re,hove el! frozen foods from the freezer section Leaving the

and normal operating condit|ons resume automatlcally. The drip tray should be in position directly below the freezer compartment to catch evaporated water during defrosting.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to defrost/remove ice from the

evaporator/freezer compartment, The evaporator/freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas ltnes and ;f acctdentlly punched/pierced, will render the refrigerator

iri'operable and "void" the manufac'turers warranty.
