For Complete Defrosting
Turn the temperature control to the
OFF position and unplug the freezer.
Remove all food and place it in
corrugated boxes, insulated bags,
picnic coolers, etc. Use towels and
newspapers for insulation as needed.
With the door/lid open, use pans of
hot water to speed loosening of frost.
Remove large pieces before they melt.
Chest models have a defrost water
drain at the front or left side.
Place a shallow pan outside the drain
outlet to catch the defrost water.
NOTE: Water may drip from the back
flange of the lid cover during
defrosting. This is normal. Ice builds up
in the lid insulation when the lid is open
for adding or removing food, and melts
during the defrosting operation.
Sponge excess water from the bottom
of the freezer as it collects to prevent
overflowing.
After defrosting, clean the inside of the
freezer (see Care and Cleaning).
Replace the drain plug inside the
cabinet and the cap on the defrost
drain. Fold over and dry the gasket on
the hinge side of the lid.
Plug in the freezer. Return the
temperature control to its previous
position and return food to the freezer.
