3. Style 1 - Models with a drain system:
Remove the drain cover by pulling it straight out. Then insert
the hose adapter (provided) into the drain outlet. Remove the
plastic cap from inside the bottom of the freezer. Place a pan
under the drain, or attach a hose to the threaded end of the
hose adapter and direct the water into a separate drain.
NOTE: Check the drain pan frequently to avoid water
overflow. Have a second pan handy for easier emptying.
Style 2 - Models without a drain system:
Remove water using a sponge or baster to remove excess
water from the freezer bottom and empty water into a large
pan.
4. Place pans of hot water in freezer with lid open to speed
melting. Directing air from an electric fan into freezer will also
help. Do not place fan or any electrical device in freezer.
5. Use a plastic scraper to remove frost.
NOTE: Do not use an ice pick, knife, or other sharp-pointed
tool to defrost freezer. Damage can occur.
6. Wipe water from walls with a towel or sponge.
7. 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.
8. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
9. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and mild detergent in warm
water to clean outside of freezer, door liner, and gasket.
10. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
11. Wax painted metal surfaces on the outside of freezer to avoid
rust.
NOTE: Do not use wax on plastic parts. Wax may damage
them.
12. For models with a defrost water drain, you should remove the
hose adapter and replace the drain cover and the plastic cap
in the bottom of the freezer.
13. Replace all frozen food.
14. Plug in freezer or reconnect power.
15. Refer to "Using the Control" section.
Changing the Light Bulbs
(on some models)
To replace interior light:
1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2. Reach behind the light lens to remove bulb.
3. Replace bulb with a 15-watt appliance bulb.
4. Plug in freezer or reconnect power.
To replace indicator light:
1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2. Gently snap out light cover and assembly with a screwdriver
by inserting the edge of the screwdriver under the metal edge
of the light cover.
3. Unplug burned out signal light and replace it with a new one.
NOTE: Indicator lights can be ordered from your designated
service company.
4. Snap light cover and assembly into place.
5. Plug in freezer or reconnect power.
Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the lid closed
to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
If a food locker is not available, consume or can perishable
food at once.
After the power is restored, unplug the freezer for 30 minutes, to
allow the refrigeration system to equalize. During this time keep
the lid closed whenever possible.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Moving Care
When you are moving your freezer to a new home, follow these
steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all frozen food.
2. Unplug the freezer.
3. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
4. Clean the freezer thoroughly.
5. Tape the freezer shut and tape the electrical cord to the
cabinet.
When you get to your new home, refer to the "Installation
Instructions" and "Freezer Use" sections for information on
installation and setting the controls.
