Care And Cleaning
Cleaning Your Freezer
ŶOutside. Protect the paint finish. The finish on the
outside of the freezer is a high quality, baked-on paint
finish. With proper care, it will stay new-looking and
rust-free for years. Apply a coat of appliance polish
wax when the freezer is new and then at least twice a
year. Appliance polish wax also works well to remove
tape residue from freezer surfaces.
Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth
lightly dampened with appliance polish wax or mild
liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry and polish with
a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the freezer with a
soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel. Do not use
scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach, or cleaners
containing bleach.
NOTICE: Care should be taken in moving the freezer
away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be
damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those
with embossed surfaces.
ŶInside. Clean the inside of your freezer at least once
a year. We recommend that the freezer be unplugged
before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excess
moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning in the
vicinity of switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution–about a
tablespoon of baking soda to a quart of water. Rinse
thoroughly with water and wipe dry. Do not use
cleaning powders or other abrasive cleaners. DO NOT
wash removable parts in a dishwasher.
An open box of baking soda in the freezer will absorb
stale freezer odors. Change the box every three
months.
CAUTION
Damp objects stick to cold metal
surfaces. DO NOT touch interior metal surfaces with
wet or damp hands.

Preparing to Move
Turn the temperature control to OFF. Disconnect the
power cord plug from the wall outlet. Remove foods,
defrost (on Manual Defrost models) and clean the
freezer.
Secure all loose items such as baskets by taping them
securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure freezer stays in upright position during actual
moving and during transportation. The freezer must be
secured during transportation to prevent movement.
Protect outside of freezer with blanket.
