Slide-Aside Basket
(some chest models)
This basket helps organize odd-shaped items.
To reach other packages in the freezer, slide the
basket aside or lift out.
Fast Freezing Shelves (manualdefrost
upright models)
These shelves contain cooling coils to freeze
foods quickly and allow cold air to constantly
circulate throughout the freezer. Do not use sharp
metal objects such as ice picks or scrapers to
clean the shelves. This could damage the shelves
and reduce their cooling ability. These shelves are
not adjustable.
Chest Divider (some chestmodels)
Use these clever dividers to custom-arrange
a variety of different-sized storage bins in the
bottom of your chest freezer. Use the peel-n-stick
labels found in your literature packet to help
remind you which items are stored where. If you
have an item that isn't already covered by one of
the pre-printed labels then use one of the blank
labels and a permanent marking pen to make
your own custom label. Labels can be peeled off
when no longer needed and replaced by new and
different ones.
Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do
not touch interior metal surfaces with wet or
damp hands.
Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost
automatically, but should be cleaned occasionally.
Between Defrosting
To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use
a plastic scraper to remove frost. Scrape with a
pulling motion. Never use a metal instrument to
remove frost.
Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid electrical
hazard) from power source when defrosting unit.
Defrosting
It is important to defrost and clean freezer when
1/4to 1/2inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may
tend to accumulate faster on upper part of the
freezer due to warm, moist air entering the freezer
when the door is opened. Remove food and leave
the door open when defrosting the freezer.
• On upright models with a defrost drain
(Figure 1), remove drain plug on the inside
floor of the freezer by pulling straight out. To
access external drain tube on models with
a base panel, first remove the two screws
from the base panel. Locate the drain tube
near the left center under the freezer. Place
a shallow pan under the drain tube. Defrost
water will drain out. Check pan occasionally
so water does not overflow. A 1/2" garden
hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer
directly into a floor drain. If your model is
not equipped with an adapter, one can be
purchased at most hardware stores. Replace
the drain plug when defrosting and cleaning
are completed. If the drain is left open, warm
air may enter the freezer.
