CLEANING & CARE
DOOR GASKET
Clean door gaskets every three months according to general instructions.
Gasket must be kept clean and pliable to assure a proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge sides of gaskets will keep the
gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
VACATION AND MOVING CARE
• When going on vacation, it is best that you empty all the food from your
freezer. Unplug the unit . Clean the unit as per “Cleaning Method” and leave
the door open to remove any odors.
• When travelling or moving the freezer, always transport the unit vertically.
Moving the unit on its sides may damage the freezer and/or its compressor.
HOW TO DEFROST
• Defrost the freezer when the frost accumulated is about 1/8” thick.
• Unplug the unit. Remove all contents from the freezer compartment and
leave the door open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly. Make sure a drip
tray is in place and unplug the unit. After defrosting, empty water from drip
tray and wipe the compartment dry with a soft cloth and then adjust the
temperature control dial to the desired position.
NOTE:
· In case you want to speed up the defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm water
(about 122°F) into the freezer.
· Do not heat the evaporator directly with hot water or hair dryer while defrosting.
Doing so will damage the freezer compartment.
· Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the
freezer and puncture the cooling coils. It will also void the warranty. We recommend
using a plastic scraper.
