Defrosting and Draining the Freezer
1. Defrost whenever the frost becomes 5MM thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove
the frost as it may damage the cooling coils.(A punctured coil will void the warranty)
2. Unplug the unit. For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the drain dial and
rotate it so that the arrow points down ward. This will let the water flow out into the tray.
3. Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To
defrost faster keep the freezer door open. When done, push the drain dial in and turn the arrow to
the up position. Re-plug the drain plug inside the freezer compartment. Note: monitor the container
under the drain to avoid overflow.

Rest the temperature control to the desired setting.
3-5. Cleaning
Outside.
Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside of the freezer is a high quality
baked-on paint finish. With proper care, it will stay new-looking and rust-free for years. Apply a coat of
appliance polish wax when the freezer is new and then at least twice a year. Appliance polish wax also
works well to remove tape residue from freezer surfaces.
Keep the finish clean.
Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with appliance polish wax or
mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the freezer with
a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach, or
cleaners containing bleach.
Inside.
Clean the inside of the freezer at least once a year. We recommend that the freezer be
unplugged before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when
cleaning in the vicinity of switches, lights or controls.
An open box of baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors. Change the box ever y
three months.
Care should be taken in moving the freezer away from the wall. All types of floor coverings
can be damaged particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces.
