Thank you for having the manual I needed for an older model Aiwa stero I had found on Ebay --- I wanted the Aiwa because I had tapes and cd's but I did not have a manual as to how to operate the system... I found what I needed and it has enabled me to set the system up for my enjoyment.
I wished detailed information of the JBL S310 and here I found it! Very happy with the service from this site!

Defrosting
While in operation, the refrigerated surfaces of the evaporator become progressively covered with frost. This frost, which acts as a thermal insulator and thus prevents the cold from reaching the food, should be removed at regular intervals, otherwise, there will be a marked rise of temperature in the compartment concerned and a wastefull increase in power consumption. To carry out complete defrosting push the button at the centre of the thermostat knob (Fig. 12). Fig. 12
Remove the plug from the drain hole in the water collecting tray. Place a basin under the drain hole in the tray to collect the defrost water (Fig. 13). When defrosting is completed, operation is resumed automatically. Remove the defrost water which has collected in the basin placed under the collecting tray. Re�t the previously removed plug into the drain hole. Defrosting should be done when there is no food in the 2-star ( ) compartment. Fig. 13
