Between Defrostings
To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic
scraper to remove frost. Scrape with a pulling motion.
Never use a metal instrument to remove frost.

Short Vacations:
Leave the freezer operating during
vacations of less than three weeks.
Long Vacations:
If the freezer 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 freezer door open
slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
Moving:
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall
outlet. Remove food, defrost, and then clean the freezer.
Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and
shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent
damage. In the moving vehicle, secure freezer in an
upright position, and secure to prevent movement. Also
protect outside of freezer with a blanket, or similar item.
