CARE AND CLEANING
Place a folded towel across the width of
the freezer bottom. Place the empty bas-
ket on top of the towel pushed complete-
ly to the rear. Also place a folded towel on
the floor near the front of the cabinet to
catch any residual moisture.
A ¾" garden hose adapter can be used to
drain the freezer directly into a floor drain
(see Figure 3).

The frost will loosen and fall with the ma-
jority of the frost entering the basket.
If the frost is glazed and hard, fill deep
pans with hot water and place them on
the freezer shelves. The frost should
soften in about 15 minutes. Repeat this
procedure if necessary.
Remove the garden hose and dump any
remaining water. Remove the towels. Dry the
side walls, shelves and freezer bottom with a
dry towel. Replace the Cover and place the
basket back into the freezer compartment.
If you choose to not use a garden hose,
a garden hose cap can be purchased at
most hardware stores. This cap can be
installed and the defrost water collected
can simply be dumped into a drain.
Please note that the cover that comes
with the basket may not be water tight.
Defrosting without using a garden hose
or a cap may lead to water leaking onto
the floor surface.
Cleaning the Inside
After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of
the unit with a solution of 2 tbsp. (25 g) of
baking soda in 1 qt. (1 l) 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. DO
NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.
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 alka-
line 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.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments, which can scratch the freezer
surface when removing adhesive labels.
Any glue left from the tape can be removed
with a mixture of warm water and mild de-
tergent, or touch the residue with the sticky
side of the tape already removed.
