FREEZER FEATURES

This manual cover several different models. The freezer you have
purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations
of the features may not match your model.

Refrigerated Shelves

(on some models)
Your freezer is equipped with refrigerated interior shelves.
Packages in direct contact with the shelves will have the best
refrigeration. Fresh, unfrozen food packages should be stored
directly on the shelves and not on top of already frozen food
packages.
When placing the food packages in your freezer, please
remember:
The cabinet shelves have the best freezing capability. The
door shelves and the bottom of the cabinet have a slightly
less cold temperature. Therefore, packages sensitive to
temperature (meat, poultry, etc.) should not be placed on the
door shelves or the freezer bottom.
Leave some space between the food packages so that cold
air can pass over and around them.

Storage Basket

(on some models)
The slide out basket provides separate storage space for items
that are difficult to store on freezer shelves. To remove the basket,
pull out and lift up.

Storage Gate

(on some models)
To lower and raise the storage gate:
1. Lift the top of the gate up slightly, out of the supports. Pull the
gate forward and down.
2. Return the gate to the upright position. Lift the top of the gate
slightly to clear the supports. Lower the gate into the
supports.

FREEZER CARE

Cleaning Your Frost-Free Freezer

(on some models)
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
Frost-free means that you will never have to defrost your freezer.
Frost is removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and
depositing it on the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically
warms up just enough to melt the frost, and it then flows down to
the drain pan (located behind the base grille) where it is
evaporated.
Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.
1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2. Remove all frozen food. Wrap frozen food in several layers of
newspaper and cover with a blanket. Food will stay frozen for
several hours. You may also store frozen food in a cooler,
additional refrigerator-freezer, or in a cool area.
3. Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in
warm water or 2 tablespoons (26 mg) baking soda to 1 quart
(0.95 L) warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
4. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and mild detergent in warm
water to clean outside of freezer, door liner and gasket.
6. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
7. Wax painted metal surfaces outside of freezer to provide rust
protection.
NOTE: Do not use wax on plastic parts. Wax may damage
them.
8. Replace all frozen food.
9. Plug in freezer or reconnect power.
10. See the "Using the Control" section.
