FREEZER CARE
Defrosting and Cleaning Your Freezer
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Defrost and clean your freezer when frost has built up to about
¹⁄₄" (0.6 cm) thickness. Complete defrosting and cleaning should
be done at least once a year. In high humidity areas, a freezer
may need more frequent defrosting and cleaning.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on your freezer. Do not use cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners
containing petroleum on plastic parts. Damage can occur.
NOTE: For models with a defrost water drain, the drain cap must
be removed before defrosting the freezer and replaced securely
afterward.
1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2. 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.

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
rubber stopper 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
provide rust protection.
NOTE: Do not use wax on plastic parts. Wax may damage
them.

hose adapter and replace the drain cover and the rubber
stopper in the bottom of the freezer.
