Care & Cleaning

CAUTION

Damp objects stick to cold metal

surfaces. Do not touch interior metal

surfaces with wet or damp hands.

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.

Some upright freezers are frost-free

and defrost automatically, but should be

cleaned occasionally.

Defrosting

CAUTION

Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid

electrical hazard) from power source

when defrosting unit.

It is important to defrost and clean

the freezer when ¼ to ½ inch of frost

has accumulated. Frost may tend to

accumulate faster on the upper part

of the freezer due to warm, moist air

entering the freezer when the door is

opened. Remove food and leave the door

open when defrosting the freezer.

To Defrost Upright Models with Defrost Drain:

• Remove the drain plug on the inside oor

of the freezer by pulling it straight out.

• To access external drain tube on models with

a base panel, rst remove the two screws

from the base panel. Locate the drain tube

near the left center under the freezer.

• Place a shallow pan under the drain

tube. Defrost water will drain out. Check

the pan occasionally so water does not

overow (see gure 1).

equipped with an adapter, one can be

purchased at most hardware stores.

and cleaning are completed. If the

drain is left open, warm air may enter
