CARE AND MAINTENANCE 

Cleaning Your Freezer 

 

Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly. 

 

Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the freezer, remove the food and storage basket. 

 

Wash  the  inside  with  a  damp  warm  cloth  containing  a  water  and  baking  soda  solution.  The  solution 
should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. 

 

Wash the storage basket with a mild detergent solution. 

 

Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently. 

 

The outside of the freezer should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. 

 

Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth. 

 

The condenser coils should be vacuumed when they are dusty or dirty. 

 

It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odor free and 
running efficiently. 

 

Vacation Time 

 

Remove all the food. 

 

Unplug the freezer. 

 

Clean the freezer. 

 

Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.     

 

Use extreme caut

 

 

͸±®¬  ª¿½¿¬·±²-æ 

Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

 

 

Ô±²¹  ª¿½¿¬·±²-æ 

If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the 

power cord.    Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.    To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door 
open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have the door removed. 

 

Moving Your Freezer 

 

Remove all the food. 

 

Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer. 

 

Remove the rollers to prevent damage. 

 

Tape the doors shut. 

 

Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation. 

 

 

Energy Saving Tips 

 

The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or 

heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight. 

 

Let  hot foods cool to room temperature before  placing in the freezer.    Overloading  the freezer forces 

the compressor to run longer.    Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil. 

 

Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer.    This cuts 

down on frost build-up inside the freezer. 

 

Freezer  storage  bin  should  not  be  lined  with  aluminum  foil,  wax  paper,  or  paper  toweling.    Liners 

interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient. 

 

Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.    Remove as many items as 

needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
