Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost
automatically, but should be cleaned occasionally.
Between Defrostings
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.
Defrosting
It is important to defrost and clean the freezer
when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has accumulated. Frost
may tend to accumulate faster on the 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.
