TIPS ON EVERYDAY USE AND CARE
TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
The freezer temperature can be adjusted by the Cold Control Knob. Freezer temperature will become lower as the control knob is set closer to the MAX
position. Freezer temperature will vary depending on the quality of food stored and the frequency with which the floor is opened. Ice cream can be used as an
indicator of freezer temperature. If it is too hard or too soft, adjust the Cold Control Knob accordingly.
HOW TO DEFROST:
Remove contents from freezer. Keep drip tray in place. Set Cold Control Knob to OFF position.
Defrosting may take up to several hours. To defrost faster:
* Leave door open
* Place pans of hot water on frosted shelves
* Wipe with warm towel or sponge
When defrosting is complete, remove drip tray and dispose of water. Set Cold Control back to original position.
FOR ALL CLEANING: Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda or mild soap with 1 quart warm water. No strong cleaners, scouring powder or pads should be used.
Do not put the defrost tray in the dishwasher.
