Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Freezer:
CAUTION
1. Unplug the freezer and remove the frozen items and drawers.
: Failure to unplug the unit before cleaning can result in electrical shock or
personal injury.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar. Wipe dry
with a clean, soft cloth.
3. Wash the drawers with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and
wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the
area of the temperature control or any electrical parts.
6. From time to time, wipe the condenser on the rear wall with a soft
non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner. (See illustration.)
7. After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the power
supply and return the drawers and frozen items back to their place.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If
the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps
to protect your frozen items.

Vacation Time
During long absences, remove all the contents of the freezer. Unplug the freezer, clean it
and leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold or odors.

Energy-Saving Tips
• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-
producing appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
:
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is damp and hot.
Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.
• Occasionally check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation
behind and in front of the appliance).
• Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on
how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature, etc.).
• Before loading items into the unit, be sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
• A layer of frost and ice increases energy consumption, so defrost the appliance as
soon as the layer is 1/8"-1/4" thick.
