Defrosting
It is important to defrost and clean the freezer
when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has accumulated.
Frost may tend to accumulate faster on the
upper part of the unit due to warm, moist air
entering the freezer when the door is opened.
Remove food and leave the lid open when
defrosting the unit.
If the frost is soft, remove it by using a
plastic scraper. If the frost is glazed and
hard, unscrew drain plug on oor of freezer,
and unscrew outside drain plug located on
the lower left front of the freezer. Place a
shallow pan beneath the drain outlet to collect
water. Check pan occasionally so water does
not overow. Replace the drain plugs once
defrosting is completed.

Cleaning the Inside
After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the
freezer with a solution of 2 tablespoons (25
grams) of baking soda in 1 quart (1.136 litres)
warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water
out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the
area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda
solution mentioned above, or mild detergent
and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use
metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive
cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface.
Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.
Cleaning the Outside
Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild
liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with
a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food.
Vacation and Moving Tips
Short Vacations: Leave the unit operating
during vacations of less than three weeks.
WARNING
If leaving freezer lid open while on vacation,
make certain that children cannot get into
the unit and become entrapped.
NOTE
Do not open freezer lid unnecessarily if unit
is off for several hours.
If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will
stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the freezer
is kept closed. If the power failure continues,
pack 7 or 8 pounds of dry ice into the
appliance every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow
Pages under "Dry Ice," "Dairies," or "Ice Cream
Manufacturers" for local dry ice suppliers.
Always wear gloves and use caution when
handling dry ice.
If the freezer has stopped operating, see
Freezer Does Not Run in the BEFORE YOU
CALL section of this Use & Care Guide. If you
cannot solve the problem, call an authorized
servicer immediately.
Long Vacations: If the freezer will not be
used for several months, remove all food and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold
growth, leave the lid open slightly, blocking it
open if necessary.
Moving: Disconnect the power cord plug from
the wall outlet. Remove food, defrost, and then
clean the unit. Secure all loose items, such as
baskets, by taping them securely in place to
prevent damage. In the moving vehicle, secure
the freezer in an upright position, and secure
to prevent movement. Also protect outside of
the unit with a blanket, or similar item.
