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 caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.
•
Short vacations: Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•
Long vacations: 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.
