Adjusting the Control
Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.
NOTE: The small snowflake icon represents the number 1 or the least
cold setting. The large snowflake icon represents the number 6 or the
coldest setting.
Fast Freeze (on some models)
This setting causes the freezer to run continuously, driving the freezer
temperature to the coldest possible temperature. To activate, adjust the
control knob to the igloo icon, which represents the fast freeze setting.
Use this feature just before adding large amounts of unfrozen foods.
For best food quality, do not exceed 3 lbs (1,350 g) per cubic foot
(28.32 L). Return to your normal setting after 24 to 48 hours.
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.
Defrosting and Cleaning Your Manual Defrost 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"
(6 mm) thickness, and thoroughly defrost and clean your freezer 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: 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, an
additional refrigerator or freezer, or a cool area.
3. Remove the base grille. See "Base Grille."
CARING FOR YOUR FREEZER
Refrigerated Shelves (on some models)
Your freezer is equipped with refrigerated interior shelves. Packages in
direct contact with the shelves will have the best refrigeration. Fresh,
unfrozen food packages should be stored directly on the shelves and
not on top of already frozen food packages.
When placing the food packages in your freezer, please remember:
The cabinet shelves have the best freezing capability. The door
shelves and the bottom of the cabinet have a slightly less cold
temperature. Therefore, packages sensitive to temperature (meat,
poultry, etc.) should not be placed on the door shelves or the
freezer bottom.
Leave some space between the food packages so that cold air can
pass over and around them.
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.
(on some models)
4. Reach under the unit and pull the drain hose out through the
opening. The drain hose carries defrost water out of the freezer,
and through the area behind the base grille. Place a large shallow
pan under the drain hose. Remove the drain cap inside freezer.
NOTE: Check the drain pan frequently to avoid water overflow.
Have a second pan handy for easier emptying.
5. Place pans of hot water in freezer with door 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.
6. 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.
7. Wipe water from walls with a towel or sponge.
8. 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.
9. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
