Genuine Toshiba owner's manual. Couldn't really ask for more. And written in understandable English in contrast to a few recent experiences I have had with manuals for other equipment other than Toshiba but made in China and written in "Chinglish"!
I purchased a vintage Sony mixer off eBay and within the hour was able to locate and purchase the manual for it.I mean really,where else can you find a manual for a product made in 1983!? It was easy to find and purchase/download the manual I needed.I will use this site again for other equipment I have! Great site!
It`s full copy of a service manual from url http://www.philips.owner-manuals.com/PM3216-service-manual-PHILIPS.html

Refrigerator Compartment:
This compartment is for storing drinks and fresh food products. The temperature inside is very evenly distributed. Make sure food does not touch the back wall, since behind this surface is where the cold is generated and food could bee partially frozen. Also, this can impede the circulation of cold air. This appliance is provided with an automatic defrosting system. Consequently you will sometimes notice a thin layer of ice or drops of water on the rear wall.
Maintenance
Prior to undertaking any maintenance operation, be sure to unplug the appliance.
Defrosting of the freezer
The inner walls of the freezer become gradually covered with a layer of frost keeping in mind not to open the door frequently and keeping the food wrapped up in closed bags. Whenever the thickness of ice reaches 5 mm. the frost should be removed. Here to proceed as follows: 1... Remove all food staffand place it in the coolest possible place.. 2� Place the Plastic Scraper (supplied with the appliance) into the existing slot above the plinth See Fig.7). 3� Place a bowl under the outlet to collect the water. 4� Pull out the drawers and the upper tray. 5� Under no circumstances should you try and tear off the ice formed, wait for it to melt away.
6� Once the ice is eliminated and the appliance is clean and dry, remove the plastic scraper and replace the drawers and the upper tray. 7� Plug in the appliance.
