Freezer Features

This manual covers several different models. The freezer you have
purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations of the
features may not match those of your model.
Freezer Shelves
Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different
heights. This reduces the time the freezer door is open and saves
energy.
To Remove and Replace a Shelf:
1. Remove the shelf by lifting straight up, and pulling the shelf out.

Cleaning Your Frost-Free Freezer

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Frost-free means that you will not have to defrost your freezer. Frost is
removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and depositing it on
the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically warms up enough to melt
the frost, and it then flows down to the drain pan (located behind the
base grille) where it is evaporated.
Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.
1. Press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds to turn off cooling.
2. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
3. Remove all frozen food. Wrap frozen food in several layers of
newspaper and cover with a blanket. Food will stay frozen for
several hours. You may also store frozen food in a cooler,
additional refrigerator-freezer, or in a cool area.
4. Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in warm
water or 2 tbs (26 mg) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L) warm water.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays,
scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or
gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other
harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.

CARING FOR YOUR FREEZER

2. Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf onto the supports on the
side wall.
Storage Gate (on some models)
To Remove the Storage Gate:
1. Lift up the top of the gate and out of the supports.
2. Return the gate to original position. Lower the gate into the
supports.
5. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
6. Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.
Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth
and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh
cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
7. Remove the base grille by opening the freezer door and removing
the two Phillips-head screws. Pull the grille toward you to remove.
8. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with the
leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille into
place. Reinstall the screws.
9. Replace all frozen food.
10. Plug in freezer or reconnect power.
