Defrosting instructions.
6
In most climates, defrosting will be
necessary only about twice a year.
To have your freezer operate most efficiently,
do not permit more than 1/4 inch (6 mm) of
frost to accumulate on the shelves.
To remove this light coating of frost from
the shelves, simply scrape with a plastic or
wood spatula or scraper. Scrape the top and
bottom surfaces of the shelves and the
refrigerated surface at the top of the cabinet.
Never use an ice pick or metal scraper.
Any
such instrument can damage the freezer.
Do not use any electrical device in
defrosting your freezer.
For Complete Defrosting
Turn the temperature control to
OFF.
Remove all food and place it in
corrugated boxes, insulated bags, picnic
coolers, etc. Use towels and newspapers
for insulation as needed.
With the door open, use pans of hot
water to speed loosening of frost.
Remove large pieces before they melt.
Sponge excess water from the bottom of
the freezer as it collects to prevent
overflowing. Wipe water from the walls
of the freezer.
After defrosting, clean the inside of the
freezer (see
Care and Cleaning
).
Return the temperature control to its
previous position and return food to the
freezer.

Drain System
The freezer’s drain system consists of:
■
Drain cap and sleeve (at the liner and
cabinet bottom); and
■
Drain hose.
The drain hose carries defrost water out of
the freezer and through the area behind the
base grille into a customer-provided pan for
disposal.
NOTE:
The drain cap must be removed
before defrosting the freezer and replaced
securely afterward.
