CAUTION
Damp objects tend to stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch
interior metal surfaces with wet or damp hands.
Between Defrost Cycles
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 pow-
er source when defrosting unit.
Defrosting
It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when 1/4 to 1/2
inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate fast-
er on upper part of the freezer due to warm, moist air entering
the freezer when the door is opened. Remove contents and leave
the door open when defrosting the freezer.
On upright models with a defrost drain (see Figure 7 above),
remove drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling
straight out. To access external drain tube on models with a grille,
first remove the two screws from the grille. 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 pan occa-
sionally so water does not overflow. Replace the drain plug when
defrosting and cleaning are completed. If the drain is left open,
warm air may enter the freezer.

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR FREEZER
Figure 7
Cleaning the Inside
After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the freezer with a solu-
tion of two tablespoons of baking soda in one quart (1.136 liters)
of 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 with the baking soda solution men-
tioned above, or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.
NEVER use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or
alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash removable parts
in a dishwasher.
Cleaning the Outside
Wash the cabinet with warm water and a mild liquid detergent.
Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
