CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Freezer
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the unit before cleaning can result in electrical shock or personal injury.
1. Unplug the freezer and remove the frozen items and drawers.
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.
Moving Your Freezer
1. Remove the contents of the freezer.
2. Securely tape down all loose items (e.g., drawers) inside your unit.
3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the freezer stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
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.
