Cleaning the Inside
After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the freezer with a solution of two tablespoons
of baking soda in one quart (1.136 litres) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water
out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution mentioned above, or mild
detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes,
abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash removable parts
in a dishwasher.
Cleaning the Outside
Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food.

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. To prevent odor and mold
growth, leave the freezer door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
Moving: Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. Remove foods, then
defrost, and clean the freezer. Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and
shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. In the moving vehicle,
secure freezer in an upright position, and secure to prevent movement. Also protect
outside of freezer with a blanket, or similar item.
If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the freezer
is kept closed. If the power failure continues, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into
the freezer every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Dry Ice," "Dairies," or "Ice
Cream Manufacturers" for local dry ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use caution
when handling dry ice.
If the freezer has stopped operating, see "Freezer does not run" in the Avoid Service
Checklist Section of this manual. If you cannot solve the problem, call an authorized
servicer immediately.
If the freezer remains off for several hours, follow the directions above for the use of dry
ice during a power failure. If necessary, take the food to a local locker plant until the freezer
is ready to operate. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Frozen Food Locker Plants."
