Dial-setting defrosting To defrost, turn control to 0 (see fig. ). Remove frozen or perishable foods and keep the drip tray inplace. Defrosting usually takes a few hours, depending on the outside temperature. [. . . ] When placed in direct sunlight, close to a stove or other source of herefrigerator will consume more electricity (fig. 2. ) · Avoid moisture.
