Defrosting Instructions
In most climates, defrosting will be necessary only about
twice a year.
To have your freezer operate most efficiently, do not
permit more than 1/4" (6 mm) thickness of frost, on
average, to accumulate on the walls.
For Complete Defrosting
1. Turn the temperature control to far left OFF setting
and unplug the freezer.
2. Remove all food and place it in corrugated boxes,
insulated bags, picnic coolers, etc. Use towels and
newspapers for insulation as needed.
3. Place a tray (not included) in front of the freezer,
beneath the exterior drain plug to collect the water.
Pull out the drain plug about 1" (2.5 cm) until the
drain hole on the plug shows completely. Turn the
drain plug clockwise until the arrow is pointed down.
Unscrew counterclockwise to remove the interior
drain plug. This allows the water to flow out into the
tray.
NOTE: Water that has accumulated at the bottom of
the freezer during defrosting will drain into the tray.
Monitor the tray under the drain to avoid overflow.

WARNING
To remove frost, scrape with a plastic
or wood spatula or scraper. Do not use an ice pick,
metal, or sharp-edged instrument as it may damage
or scratch the freezer. Do not use boiling water as it
may damage the freezer. Do not use any electrical
device in defrosting your freezer.
4. With the lid open, you may choose to use pans of
hot tap water (less than 120° F [49° C]) to speed
defrosting. Directing air from an electric fan into
the freezer will also help. Do not place fan or any
electrical device in the freezer. Remove large pieces
before they melt.
5. Wipe water from walls with a towel or sponge.
6. After defrosting, clean the inside of the freezer (see
Care and Cleaning).
7. Replace the drain plugs.
8. Plug in the freezer. Return
the temperature control to its
previous position and return
food to the freezer.
