On
upright
units
with
a
defrost
drain
–
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
the
pan
occasionally
to
ensure
it
does
not
overflow.
A
½
inch
garden
hose
adaptor
(available
at
most
hardware
stores)
can
be
used
to
drain
the
freezer
directly
into
a
floor
drain.
Replace
the
drain
plug
when
defrosting
is
complete
so
warm
air
does
not
enter
the
freezer
through
the
hole.
Defrosting
tips
–
If
the
frost
is
soft,
remove
it
with
a
plastic
scraper.

hard,
fill
deep
pans
with
hot
water
and
place
them
inside
on
the
freezer
bottom.
Close
the
freezer
door.
Frost
should
soften
in
about
15
minutes.
Repeat
this
procedure
as
necessary
until

frost
is
removed.
