Cleaning your freezer
Your freezer is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance. We recommend that you do the
following every time you clean it to keep your freezer running odor-free and efficiently:
1
Unplug your freezer from the power outlet.
2
Remove all food.
3
Wash the storage basket with a mild detergent solution.
4
Wash the inside with a damp, warm cloth soaked in a solution of one quart of lukewarm water to two tablespoons of
baking soda.
5
Dry the inside and outside with a soft cloth or towel.
6
Make sure that you keep the door gasket (seal) clean so that the door seals tightly. This helps your freezer run
efficiently.

Tips on saving energy
• Locate your freezer in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of
direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in your freezer. Overloading your freezer forces the
compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up
inside your freezer.
• Do not line the freezer storage basket with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation and make your 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.
Note:
To prevent damage to the finish, do not use gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other solvents, and do not use abrasive cleaners.
Note:
Use extreme caution with children. Make sure that children cannot access your freezer.
