Care and Cleaning
CLEANING YOUR FREEZER
□ Outside. Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside of the freezer is a high quality, baked-on paint finish. With proper care, it
will stay new-looking and rust-free for years. Apply a coat of appliance polish wax when the freezer is new and then at least twice
a year. Appliance polish wax also works well to remove tape residue from freezer surfaces.
Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with appliance polish wax or mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry
and polish with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the freezer with a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel. Do not use scouring pads,
powdered cleaners, bleach, or cleaners containing bleach.
NOTICE: Care should be taken in moving the freezer away from
the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly
cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces.
□ Inside. Clean the inside of your freezer at least once a year. We recommend that the freezer be unplugged before cleaning. If this is
not practical, wring excess moisture out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the vicinity of switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution–about a tablespoon of baking soda to a quart of water. Rinse thoroughly with water and
wipe dry. Do not use cleaning powders or other abrasive cleaners. DO NOT wash removable parts in a dishwasher.
An open box of baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors. Change the box every three months.

CAUTION: D

with wet or damp hands.
IN CASE OF AN EXTENDED POWER FAILURE
□ Keep the freezer lid closed. Your freezer will keep food frozen for 24 hours provided warm air is not admitted.
□ If the freezer is out of operation for 24 hours or more, add dry ice. Leave the ice in large pieces. Add more ice as required.
□ If dry ice is not available, move food to a frozen food locker temporarily—until power is restored.
CAUTION: Handling of dry ice can cause freezing of the
hands—gloves or other protection is recommended.
PREPARING TO MOVE
Turn the temperature control to OFF. Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. Remove foods, defrost (on Manual Defrost
models) and clean the freezer.
Secure all loose items such as baskets by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the freezer stays in an upright position during actual moving and during transportation. The freezer must be secured during
transportation to prevent movement. Protect the outside of the freezer with a blanket.
