Cleaning and Maintenance 

CLEANING 

Outside/Exterior

 

 

Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with appliance polish wax or mild liquid dishwashing detergent. 
Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.  

 

Do not wipe the glass door freezer with a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel. Do not use scouring 
pads, powdered cleaners, bleach, or cleaners containing bleach. 

Inside

 

 

Use warm water and baking soda solution–about a tablespoon of baking soda to a quart of water. Rinse 
thoroughly with water and wipe dry.  

 

Do not use cleaning powders or other abrasive cleaners. An open box of baking soda in the glass door 
freezer will absorb stale freezer odors. Change the box every three months. 

 

An open box of baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors. Change the box every three 
months  
 

PROLONGED OFF PERIODS 

If the glass door freezer is not to be used for a long period of time, disconnect glass door freezer from main 
power supply. Clean and dry the inside as instructed. Leave the freezer door open to prevent any mold and 
mildew growth. 

Usage Tips: 

 

Keep the freezer’s door closed as much as possible. Try not to open the door too frequently, especially 
when weather is hot and humid 

 

Ensure that the unit has sufficient clearance for ventilation 

 

For normal household use, it is recommended to set the temperature in the middle setting. 

 

Before loading the glass door freezer with an item, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature. 

 

Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, defrost when frost is 3-5 mm thick. 
 

PREPARING FOR VACATION 

To maintain glass door freezer in operation during vacations, be sure your house power is not turned off. For 
extended vacations or absences, you may prefer to move your frozen foods to a storage locker temporarily. 
If your glass door freezer is to be left empty, disconnect power cord plug from power source. To prevent for-
mation of odors, place open box of baking soda in glass door freezer and leave glass door freezer door 
open.

 

 

POWER INTERRUPTIONS 

If the electricity goes off for a short period, keep the door closed to help food stay cold and frozen. If the pow-
er will be out for a longer period of time, remove food from the appliance and store it in a frozen food locker.  

NOTE: If the appliance is unplugged, encounters a power interruption, or is turned off, you must wait 3 -5 
minutes before restarting the appliance. If attempted to restart before this time delay, the appliance may not 
start. 
 

 

IN CASE OF EXTENDED POWER FAILURE 

 

Keep freezer door closed. Your freezer will keep food frozen for 24 hours provided warm air is not admit-
ted. 

 

If freezer is out of operation for 24 hours or more, add dry ice. Leave ice in large pieces. Add more ice as 
required.  

 

If dry ice is not available, move food to frozen locker temporarily—until power is restored  

NOTE: Handling of dry ice can cause freezing of the hands—gloves or other protection is recommended.
