For Periodic Complete Cleaning and Frost Removal
If the frost is too thick or too hard to be scraped, we
suggest you do the following:
Remove the power cord plug from the outlet and open
your freezer door.
Remove all the food from the freezer. Your food may
be temporarily stored in large corrugated paper boxes,
insulated bags, towels or wrapped in newspapers to
preserve coldness.
You may speed defrosting by removing large, loose
pieces of frost before they melt.
NOTE:
Water may drip from the bottom of the door
during defrosting. This is normal. Ice builds up in the
door insulation when the door is open for adding or
removing food and melts during the defrosting operation.
After the frost is completely removed, rinse the inside
of the freezer with a solution of warm water and baking
soda (about one tablespoon of soda to each quart of
water). You may use mild soap and warm water, but
follow with a baking soda solution. Rinse with clean
water and wipe dry. DO NOT use harsh or gritty
cleaners in the interior.
WARNING:
When cleaning in the vicinity of electrical
parts, (lamps, switches, controls, etc.) squeeze
excess moisture out of your sponge or cloth so that it
is barely damp. This will prevent water or liquid from
getting into any electrical part and causing a possible
shock hazard when the freezer is plugged in again.
Dry the gasket on the door.
Plug in the freezer at the electrical outlet. Turn the
temperature control knob to its regular setting and wait
for the freezer to cool down, then return the food to the
freezer.

DEFROSTING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your
freezer.
Depending on the climate you live in, humidity and usage,
your freezer may need defrosting only once or twice a
year. If possible, choose a time to defrost when your food
supply is at its lowest.
DO NOT use an ice pick or sharp edged instrument as it
may damage or scratch the freezer.
3
.The ice maker is eqipped with a built-in water strainer. If
your water conditions require a second water strainer,
install it in the 1/4" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube
connection. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest
appliance dealer.
4
.Plug in freezer or reconnect power.
4
.Determine the length of plastic tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower left rear of freezer to the
water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/
4" (6.35 mm) outside diameter plastic tubing. Be sure both
ends of plastic tubing are cut square.
5
. Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4" hole in the cold water
pipe you have selected.
6
. Fasten the shut-off valve to the cold water pipe with the
pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"
drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under
the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe
clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a
watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the
plastic tubing.
7
. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
plastic tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression
nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
8
.Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink and
turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water
is clear. Turn OFF the shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil
the plastic tubing.
Connecting to the freezer:
1
.Attach the plastic tube to the valve inlet using a compres-
sion nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression
nut. Do not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of
the freezer to secure the tubing to the freezer as shown.
This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the freezer
is pushed against the wall.
2
.
Turn shut-off valve ON. Check for leaks. Tighten any
connections (including those at valve) or nuts that
leak.
