CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR FREEZER
• Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly.
• Turn the temperature control to “0”, unplug the freezer and remove the food and storage baskets.
• Clean the inside with a damp warm cloth containing a water and baking solution.
The solution should consist of about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of water.
• Clean the storage basket with a mild detergent solution.
• Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean so the unit will run efciently.
• Clean the outside of the freezer with a mild detergent and warm water.
• Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
• It is recommended that the unit is cleaned each time it is defrosted to keep the unit odor-free and running efciently.
MOVING THE FREEZER
• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside the freezer.
• Remove the rollers to prevent damage.
• Tape the doors shut.
• Be sure to keep the freezer in an upright position during transportation.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliance
or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in freezer. Overloading will force the compressor to run longer.
Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Ensure that foods are wrapped properly, and containers are dry before being placed in the freezer.
This will cut down on frost inside the freezer.
• Freezer storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation and make the freezer less efcient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.
Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
