Frost Free Operation

The Frost Free system automatically prevents ice buildup on interior walls.

If frost appears: Check door seal for gaps; ensure door is closing completely.
In humid conditions: Some frost may form; wipe with dry cloth if needed.

WARNING! Never use sharp objects to remove ice. Do not disconnect power to "defrost" – the system is automatic.

Energy Saving Tips
