Care & Cleaning
• Replace the drain plugs when defrosting and
cleaning are completed. If the drain is left
open, warm air may enter the freezer.
To Defrost Models without Defrost Drain:
• Place towels or newspapers on the freezer
bottom to catch the frost. The frost will
loosen and fall.
• Remove the towels and/or newspapers.
• If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plastic
scraper. If the frost is glazed and hard, ll
deep pans with hot water and place them on
the freezer bottom.
• Close the freezer door/lid. Frost should
soften in about fteen (15) minutes.
• Repeat this procedure is necessary.

Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive
cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do
not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.

Vacation and Moving Tips
Short Vacations: Leave the freezer operating
during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long Vacations: If the freezer will not be used
for several months:
• Remove all food and unplug the
power cord.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
• Leave the freezer door open slightly, blocking
it open if necessary, to prevent odor and
mold growth.
WARNING
If leaving the freezer door open while on
vacation, make certain that children cannot
get into the freezer and become entrapped.
