Defrosting and Cleaning

Your Manual Defrost Freezer

(somemodels)

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Defrost and clean your freezer when frost has built up to about

¹⁄₄" (6 mm) thickness. Complete defrosting and cleaning should be done at least once a year. In high humidity areas, a freezer may need more frequent defrosting and cleaning.

Do not use abrasive cleaners on your freezer. Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic parts. Damage can occur.

NOTE: The drain cap must be removed before defrosting the freezer and replaced securely afterward.

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, an additional refrigerator or freezer, or a cool area.

3.Remove base grille. See “Base Grille.”

4.Style 1–Models with a drain system

Reach under the unit and pull the drain hose out through the opening. The drain hose carries defrost water out of the freezer, and through the area behind the base grille. Place a large shallow pan under the drain hose. Remove the drain cap inside freezer.

NOTE: Check the drain pan frequently to avoid water overflow. Have a second pan handy for easier emptying.

Style 2–Models without a drain system

Remove water from the freezer bottom using a sponge or baster and empty the water into a large pan.

5.Place pans of hot water in freezer with door open to speed melting. Directing air from an electric fan into freezer will also help. Do not place fan or any electrical device in freezer.

6.Use a plastic scraper to remove frost.

NOTE: Do not use an ice pick, knife, or other sharp-pointed tool to defrost freezer. Damage can occur.

7.Wipe water from walls with a towel or sponge.

8.Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in warm water or 2 tbs (26 mg) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L) warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.

9.Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

10.Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.

Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
