Caution:
General:
Door Gaskets:
To avoid electric shock always unplug your freezer before
cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.
Before using cleaning products, always read and follow
manufacturer's instructions and warnings to avoid personal
injury or product damage.
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking
soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth,
dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your
freezer.
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia,
chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or
metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may
dissolve, damage and/or discolor your freezer.
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to
general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and
pliable to assure a proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will
keep the gasket pliable and assure a good seal.
