Slide-Aside
Basket
(chest
models)
This
basket
helps
organize
odd-shaped
items.
To
reach
other
packages
in
the
freezer,
slide
the
basket
aside
or
lift
out.
Fast
Freezing Shelves
(upright
models)
These
shelves
contain
cooling
coils
to
freeze
foods
quickly
and
allow
cold
air
to
constantly
circulate
throughout
the
freezer.
Do
not
use
sharp
metal
objects
such
as
ice
picks
or
scrapers
to
clean
the
shelves.
This
could
damage
the
shelves
and
reduce
their
cooling
ability.
These
shelves
are
not
adjustable.
Drop Front Shelf
(upright models)
The
Drop
Front
Shelf,
located
at
the
bottom

irregular
shaped
items
or

Some
upright
freezers
are
frost-free
and
defrost
automatically,
but
should
be
cleaned
occasionally.
Before
cleaning
or
defrosting,
unplug
the
power
cord
from
the
electrical
outlet.
Between Defrostings
To
avoid
frequent
defrosting,
occasionally
use
a
plastic
scraper
to
remove
frost.
Scrape
with
a
pulling
motion.
Never
use
a
metal
instrument
to
remove
frost.
Defrosting
It
is
important
to
defrost
and
clean
the
freezer
when
1/4
to
1/2
inch
of
frost
has
accumulated.
Frost
may
tend
to
accumulate
faster
on
the
upper
part
of
the
freezer
due
to
warm,
moist
air
entering
the
freezer
when
the
door
is
opened.
Remove
food
and
leave
the
door
open
when
defrosting
the
freezer.
• On
upright
models
with
a
defrost
drain
(Figure
1),
remove
the
drain
plug
on
the
inside
floor
of
the
freezer
by
pulling
straight
out.
To
access
the
external
drain
tube
on
models
with
a
base
panel,
first
remove
the
two
screws
from
the
base
panel.
Locate
the
drain
tube
near
the
left
center
under
the
freezer.
Place
a
shallow
pan
under
the
drain
tube.
Defrost
water
will
drain
out.
Check
pan
occasionally
so
water
does
not
overflow.
Replace
the
drain
plug
when
defrosting
and
cleaning
are
completed.
If
the
drain
is
left
open,
warm
air
may
enter
the
freezer.
• On
chest
models
with
a
defrost
drain,
place
a
shallow
pan
beneath
the
drain
outlet
(Figure
2).
A
one
half
inch
garden
hose
adapter
can
be
used
to
drain
the
freezer
directly
into
a
floor
drain
(Figure
3).
If
your
model
is
not
equipped
with
an
adapter,
one
can
be
purchased
at
most
hardware
stores.
Pull
out
the
drain
plug
inside
the
freezer,
and
pull
off
the
outside
defrost
drain
plug
(Figure
4
on
following
page).
Defrost
water
will
drain
out.
Check
pan
occasionally
so
water
does
not
overflow.
Replace
the
drain
plugs
when
defrosting
is
completed.
