5. メンテナンス
冷凍庫の解凍
Over time, frost will build up on the interior walls of your freezer. For efficient operation, defrost the freezer when the frost accumulation is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

- 排水： Locate the easy-access defrost drain on the lower front panel. Place a shallow pan or towel under the drain to collect water. Remove the drain plug.
- 霜取り： Leave the lid open to allow the frost to melt naturally. You can speed up the process by placing bowls of hot water inside the freezer (ensure they are stable and do not touch the walls). Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.
- クリーニング： Once all frost has melted, wipe the interior with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- 再起動： 排水プラグを元に戻し、冷凍庫の電源プラグを差し込み、数時間冷ましてから食品を戻します。
