Maintaining your freezer
Cleaning your freezer
We recommend that you do the following every time you clean your freezer to keep it running odor-free and efficiently:
1 Unplug your freezer from the power outlet.
2 Remove all food.
3 If you want to remove the door racks, shelves, crisper, freezer shelf, or freezer door racks, see:
• Maintaining your freezer
on page 14
• Adjusting the freezer shelves on page 13
4 Clean the doors, handles, and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent, then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out
sponge or cloth.
5 Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in a solution of one quart (.94 l) of lukewarm water to one tablespoon
of baking soda solution, then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth.
6 Clean the shelves, and drawer with a mild detergent and soft cloth, then rinse with warm water.
7 Make sure that you keep the door gaskets (seals) clean so that the door seals tightly. This helps your freezer to run
efficiently.
8 Dry all surfaces and removable parts before putting them back into place.
9 Plug your freezer into the power outlet.
Defrosting your freezer
• For improved cooling performance, your refrigerator will need to be defrosted manually if interior frost gets too thick.
• To avoid water flowing out from under the your refrigerator, manually defrost is before switching from freezer mode to
refrigerator mode.
• If the drain hole at the bottom of the freezer liner is blocked by ice or dirt, clean it to ensure proper draining.
