Care and Maintenance

Cleaning
To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a mixture of
one tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water.
Other cleaning solutions options are a mild soap suds
solution, or mild detergent. Wash glass shelves in a
mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft
cloth. Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth and
some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.
Vacation Time
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at
its normal setting. During longer absences;
(a) remove all foods,
(b) disconnect power cord from electrical outlet
(c) clean the freezer thoroughly, including drip tray
(defrost pan), located on the bottom of the unit.
(d) leave door open to avoid possible formations of
condensate, mold or odors.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or
two and will not affect your freezer temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off. During power failures
of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by
placing dry ice on top of packages.
If You Move
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the freezer. To avoid damaging the leveling
legs, turn them all the way into the base.
Some Important Rules for the
Correct Use of the Freezer
• Never place hot foods in the freezer.
• Never place spoiled foods in the cabinet.
• Don't overload the cabinet.
• Don't open the door unless necessary.
• Should the freezer be stored without use for long
periods, it is suggested that, after a careful
cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow the air to
circulate inside the cabinet in order to avoid
possible formations of condensate, mold or odors.
