Care And Cleaning - Frigidaire FFCL2542AW Use & Care Manual

CAUTION
Damp objects stick to cold metal
surfaces. Do not touch interior metal
surfaces with wet or damp hands.
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.
CAUTION
The appliance must be unplugged (to
avoid electrical hazard) from power
source when cleaning or defrosting
appliance.
Defrosting
It is important to defrost and clean the
appliance when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has
accumulated. Frost may tend to accu-
mulate faster on the upper part of the
appliance due to warm, moist air entering
the appliance when the door is opened.
Remove food and leave the lid open when
defrosting the appliance.
To use the defrost drain, place a shallow
pan beneath the drain outlet (Figure 1).

CARE AND CLEANING

Pull out the drain plug inside the appli-
ance, and pull off the outside defrost
drain plug (Figure 2). Defrost water will
drain out. Check pan occasionally so wa-
ter does not overflow. Replace the drain
plugs when defrosting is completed.
If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plas-
tic scraper. If the frost is glazed and hard,
fill deep pans with hot water and place
them on the appliance bottom. Close the
lid. Frost should soften in about 15 minutes.
Repeat this procedure if necessary.
