Care & Cleaning

Protecting your investment

       

CAUTION

•  Pull the freezer straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. 
•  Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or 

damp hands.

       

NOTE

•    Turning the freezer temperature control to “OFF” turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect 

electrical power to the light bulb or other electrical components. To turn off power to your freezer, 
you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

•     Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when 

removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm 

water and mild detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you have already 

removed. Do not remove the serial plate.

Keep your freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean at least twice 

a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any 
surface. Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always unplug the electrical power cord from 

the wall outlet before cleaning.
