When you press the "Defrost," you will have an option for time. if you put 1 in, it will do 1/10th of a pound so you will want to put 10 in for one pound. I think it does a pretty good job.

I don't. It's so good at cooling you have to defrost it from time to time. It lacks an auto defrost.

No directions required. Put the tray on the counter, put your frozen food on tray, let sit till defrosted. Proceed to frying, baking, etc.

I defrost them in the fridge but you could microwave or heat on the stove. :)

Just plug it in, add water to water line. Select the size of ice you want push the start button. When the ice fills up to a level it will turn it self off. enjoy your ice maker.

you fill with warm water. Use ice water and get an immediate pucker factor.... Not recommended, warm is good.

Quick answer: No.For mine: I have a screwdriver to *gently* chip away any build up frost in the freezer (top) part.For the refrigerator part (bottom): water beads up at the back of the refrigerator and turns hard. But the refrigerator turns off and the water softens and rolls to the bottom where it drains through a hole at the bottom. The freezer part (top) does not have a drain hole.In my opinion, it's nothing serious.

If I only want a little, just rub your finger(s) across the top a couple times. If you need more, stick in the microwave (on defrost cycle) for 5-10 seconds.

You have to buy the snow juice. We used 3 or 4 times and then it did not work anymore. Don't know why.

there is a button with an orange led on the front to activate the rear defrost. the switch gets wired up to your existing wiring harness.

just put your frozen item on the tray ... if you wish, warm the tray first with warm water

There is no ice compartment so it should never need defrosting. Possibly, if you leave the door open for long periods some frost could form on the back wall in which case it would be manual to defrost it.

It defrosts very well Michelle. The microwave uses a turbo defrost button from there you would enter the weight of the meat to defrost. Of course all the prep before defrosting one would need to consider, removing wrapper, some meats placing fat side down, turn items over during the defrost period and etc. I hope this helps some , good luck.

It has no auto-defrost. They send a freezer wall scraper with the fridge for you to keep the frost at bay. I hope this helps. BTW it is amazing

Turn the machine off and unplug it from the power outlet. Allow it to sit and hour or two unplugged, and then empty out all water you may have put in the machine. Put new water into the reservoir making certain you do not fill it above the maximum fill line. Distilled water is best, and will save you time down the road from having to clean off excessive mineral deposits from the freezing elements, but at minimum use good filtered water and not the junk that comes straight from the faucet. Next, plug the machine back in and press the power button. Do not attempt to set the clock or the timer. Ignore those buttons completely. Select your ice size (it really doesn't matter which one you choose just to test the machine - any size will do.) You should almost immediately hear the machine pumping water from the reservoir into the freezing chamber. It will sound like water quietly trickling and lasts a couple of seconds. If you hear that, you know the pump is working. You should also hear the compressor kick on after the water has been pumped into the freezing chamber, and if you place your hand next to the the exhaust port you ought to begin feeling slightly warmed air blowing out. Within 10 to 12 minutes your first batch of ice will be done. You hear very audibly when the machine slides the ice off the freezing elements and they tumble onto a temporary holding platform. Then you will hear the ice being raised up on the platform and pushed off of it down into the catch basket. The clattering of the ice is unmistakable. If these things do not happen within 12 to 15 minutes of when you turned the power on, something is not right with the machine. You'll most likely need to notify Amazon and have it replaced.

The defrost is part of the assembly . This is just the glass .. Should work just fine if you peel off the old glass .. Make sure you don't need all the assembly before buying

I used hot water so it would be quicker. I put it in the freeze before bed around midnight and at 6am it was frozen solid. I love them!
