Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, always unplug your freezer before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in
death or injury.
WARNING:
Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid
personal injury or product damage.
GENERAL:
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or
soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your freezer.
• Rinse with clean warm water and wipe with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,concentrated detergents, solvents
or metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your freezer.
DOOR GASKETS:
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to general instructions. Gaskets must be kept
clean and pliable to assure a proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and assure a
good seal.
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
• Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the
power cord from AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug
power cord to AC outlet. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled or thawed
food in freezer. Clean freezer before startup.
VACATION AND MOVING CARE
• For long vacations, empty food from freezer, move the temperature control dial to the OFF position
and clean the door gaskets according to “General cleaning” section. Keep doors open, so air can
circulate inside. When moving always move the freezer vertically. Do not move with the unit lying
down. Possible damage to the sealed system could occur.
WARNING:
If power outage lasts for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled or thawed food in freezer. Clean
freezer before startup.
