Cleaning your freezer
Your freezer is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance. We recommend that you do
the following every time you clean it to keep your freezer running odor-free and efficiently:
1 Unplug your freezer from the power outlet.
2 Remove all food.
3 Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
4 Wash the inside and outside with a cloth dampened with a non-corrosive, neutral detergent. If you use a detergent,
remove the residual detergent with a cloth dampened with clear water. Do not use excessive detergent or water. Too
much liquid may damage the electrical insulation.
5 Dry the inside and outside with a soft cloth or towel.
6 Make sure that you keep the door gasket (seal) clean so that the door seals tightly. This helps your freezer run
efficiently.
Defrosting your freezer
1 Unplug your freezer.
2 Remove all food from your freezer, and place the food into containers that will prevent it from melting.
3 To speed the defrosting, you can:
• Place a fan blowing on its highest speed right at the freezer. The ice will melt faster. After the ice melts, use towels
to wipe up excess water, then use the fan to speed drying.
• Place containers with hot water inside the freezer.
• Use a plastic or wooden ice shovel (like a spatula) to remove thick layers of ice or frost. Do not use a sharp utensil
(like a knife) because you may damage your freezer.
4 Use a cloth dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to clean the inside of your freezer.
5 When you finish defrosting, wipe the inside with a dry towel.
6 Close your freezer, plug it into the power outlet, then put the food back into your freezer.
Storing your freezer
1 Unplug your freezer from the power outlet.
2 Remove all food.
3 Clean your freezer.
4 Take off the doors, and leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
Moving your freezer
1 Unplug your freezer from the power outlet.
2 Remove all food.
3 Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer.
4 Tape the door shut.
5 Make sure that your freezer does not tilt more than 45° from the upright position during transportation.
Tips on saving energy
• Locate your freezer in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of
direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in your freezer. Overloading your freezer forces the
compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up
inside your freezer.
Caution
To prevent damage to the finish, do not use gasoline, benzine, thinner, or
other solvents, and do not use abrasive cleaners.
Tip
To avoid standing water when you defrost, place some towels on the floor in
front of your freezer.
Caution
Use extreme caution with children. Make sure that children cannot access
your freezer.
