Manual Defrosting Instructions
Manual Defrost Freezer models must be defrosted manually. For best operation,
the freezer should be defrosted when the frost accumulation becomes 1/4 to 1/2
inch thick. Below are the instructions for manually defrosting your Freezer.
Defrosting Instructions for your Freezer:
•
Turn the temperature control to OFF and unplug the freezer.
•
Remove all food and place in corrugated boxes, insulated bags, picnic
coolers, etc. Use towels and newspapers for insulation, as needed.
•
Remove the drain plug (on models so equipped).
•
With the door open, use pans of hot water to speed the loosening of frost.
Remove large pieces of frost before they melt.
•
Sponge the excess water from the bottom of the freezer as it collects to
prevent overflowing.
•
After defrosting, clean the inside of the freezer by wiping down with a baking
soda and water solution. Rinse and dry.
•
Be sure to replace drain cap (on models so equipped). Return the drain tube
to its position and replace the grille.
•
Plug the freezer in, return the temperature control to the normal position and
return food to the freezer.
