WARNING

cause severe personal injury or
death, disconnect power to freezer
before defrosting.
➢ Water damage due to improper
defrosting or drainage may cause
mold/mildew growth.
CAUTION
To avoid property damage, do not use
sharp or pointed instruments to scrape
frost from shelves or interior surfaces.
