CARE AND CLEANING
Drain
Plug
Pull out the drain plug inside the freezer
(Figure 4). Defrost water will drain out.
Check pan occasionally so water does not
overflow. Replace the drain plugs when
defrosting and cleaning are completed. If
the drain is left open, warm air may enter
the freezer.
• On models without a defrost drain, place
towels or newspapers on the freezer bottom
to catch the frost. The frost will loosen and
fall. Remove towels and/or newspapers.
• If the frost is soft, remove it by using a
plastic scraper. If the frost is glazed and
hard, fill deep pans with hot water and
place them on the freezer bottom. Close the
freezer door. Frost should soften in about 15
minutes. Repeat this procedure if necessary.

Cleaning the Inside

After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the
freezer with a solution of two tablespoons of
baking soda in one quart (1.136 litres) warm
water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water out
of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the
area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda
solution mentioned above, or mild detergent
and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use
metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive

cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface.
Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.

Cleaning the Outside

Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild
liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with
a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments, which can scratch the freezer
surface when removing adhesive labels. Any
glue left from the tape can be removed with
a mixture of warm water and mild detergent,
or touch the residue with the sticky side of the
tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE
SERIAL PLATE.
