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 1/2" (13 mm) of frost to accumulate.
For Complete Defrosting

unplug the freezer.
2. Remove all food and place it in corrugated boxes,

newspapers for insulation as needed.
3. 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.
Remove the defrost drain cap from the outside and
the drain plug inside the cabinet.
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.
4. Sponge excess water from the bottom of the freezer
as it collects to prevent overflowing.
5. After defrosting, clean the inside of the freezer (see
Care and Cleaning).
6. Replace the drain plug inside the cabinet and the cap

7. Plug in the freezer. Return the temperature control to
its previous position and return food to the freezer.
