Defrosting your freezer
For your freezer to operate most efficiently and with minimum energy consumption, it should be defrosted when the frost
on the freezer walls is .25 inches (6.4 mm) or more thick. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the top open speeds
up the process.
1
Unplug your freezer.
2
Remove all food from your freezer, then place the food into containers that will prevent it from melting.
3
Place a shallow pan under the drain outlet, then remove the drain plug from the freezer.
4
To speed the defrosting, you can:
• Place a fan blowing on its highest speed right over the freezer. The ice will melt faster. After the ice melts, use
towels to wipe up excess water, then use the fan to speed drying.
• Place containers with hot water inside the freezer.
5
When your freezer is defrosted, wipe the inside with a dry towel, then clean the interior of the freezer.
6
Reinstall the drain plug.
7
Plug your freezer into the power outlet, then put the food back into your freezer.
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.
