Defrost water will drain out. Check pan
occasionally so water does not overow.
Replace the drain plugs when defrosting
is completed.
• On models without a defrost drain, place
towels or newspapers on the freezer bottom
to catch the frost. The frost will loosen and
fall. Remove towels and/or newspapers.
• If the frost is soft, remove it by using a
plastic scraper. If the frost is glazed and
hard, ll deep pans with hot water and
place them on the freezer bottom. Close the
freezer door. Frost should soften in about 15
minutes. Repeat this procedure if necessary.
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.
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 alkaline 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. Replace parts and food.

Vacation and Moving Tips
Short Vacations: Leave the appliance
operating during vacations of less than 3
weeks.
Long Vacations: If the unit will not be
used for several months, remove all food and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. Leave the freezer door
open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to
prevent odor and mold growth.
Moving: Disconnect the power cord plug
from the wall outlet. Remove food, defrost,
and then clean the appliance. Secure all loose
items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves
by taping them securely in place to prevent
damage. In the moving vehicle, secure the unit
in an upright position, and secure to prevent
movement. Also protect outside of unit with a
blanket, or similar item.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments, which can scratch the appliance
surface when removing adhesive labels. Any
glue left from the tape can be removed with
a mixture of warm water and mild detergent,
or touch the residue with the sticky side of the
tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE
SERIAL PLATE.
