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 1/2 ″ (13 mm)
of frost to accumulate on the shelves.
To remove frost, scrape with a plastic
or wood spatula or scraper.
Do not use an ice pick or sharp-edged
instrument as it may damage or scratch
the freezer.
Do not use any electrical device
in defrosting your freezer.
For Complete Defrosting
Turn the temperature control
to the OFF position and unplug
the freezer.
Remove all food and place it in
corrugated boxes, insulated bags,
picnic coolers, etc. Use towels and
newspapers for insulation as needed.
With the door/lid open, use pans of
hot water to speed loosening of frost.
Remove large pieces before they melt.
Chest models have a defrost water drain
at the front.
NOTE: Water may drip from the back
flange of the lid cover during defrosting.
This is normal. Ice builds up in the lid
insulation when the lid is open for adding
or removing food, and melts during
the defrosting operation.
Sponge excess water from the bottom
of the freezer as it collects to prevent
overflowing.
After defrosting, clean the inside
of the freezer (see Care and Cleaning).
Replace the drain plug inside
the cabinet and the cap on the defrost
drain. Fold over and dry the gasket on
the hinge side of the lid.
Plug in the freezer. Return the
temperature control to its previous
position and return food to the freezer.
