Damp objects stick to cold metal

surfaces with wet or damp hands.

Care & Cleaning

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.

CAUTION

Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid

electrical hazard) from power source

when defrosting unit.

Defrosting

WARNING

DO NOT use a sharp or metallic

instrument to remove frost from the

refrigerator interior, as damage to

refrigerant tubing (located behind interior

walls) may occur. Tubing damage may

allow ammable refrigerant gas leakage,

which can result in personal injury.

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 lid is opened. Always unplug the freezer,

remove food and leave the lid open when

defrosting the freezer.

If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plastic

scraper. If the frost is glazed and hard, place

a shallow pan beneath the drain outlet.

Cleaning the Inside

After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the

freezer with a solution of two tablespoons

of baking soda in one quart (1.1 liters) warm

water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water out

of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the

area of the controls, or any electrical parts.

Wash the removable parts and baskets

with the baking soda solution mentioned

above, or mild detergent and warm water.

Remove the drain plug on the outside back

of the freezer by turning counterclockwise

(see Figure 1).

Remove the drain plug inside the freezer

by turning counterclockwise (see Figure 2).

Defrost water will drain out. Check pan

occasionally so water does not overow.

Replace the drain plugs when defrosting and

cleaning are completed. If the drain is left

open, warm air may enter the freezer.
