A:Answer Yes, you have to manually defrost the unit as needed.
Defrosting your freezer:
1 Unplug your freezer.
2 Remove all food from your freezer, and place the food into containers that
prevent it from melting.
3 To speed the defrosting, you can:
• Place a fan blowing on its highest speed pointed right at your freezer. The
ice melts faster. After the ice melts, use towels to wipe up excess water, then
use the fan to speed drying.
• Place containers with hot water inside your freezer.
• Use a plastic or wooden ice shovel (like a spatula) to remove thick layers of
ice or frost. Do not use a sharp utensil (like a knife) because you may damage
your freezer.
4 Use a cloth dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to clean the
inside of your freezer.
5 When you finish defrosting, wipe the inside with a dry towel.
6 Close your freezer, plug it into the power outlet, then put the food back into
your freezer.
