Cleaning frost-free models

Frost-free means that you will never have to defrost your freezer. Frost is removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and depositing it on the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically warms up just enough to melt the frost and it then flows down to the drain pan (located behind the base grille) where it is evaporated.

Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.

1.Unplug power cord, and turn Tempera- ture Control to OFF.

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.

OR

Store frozen food in a cooler, additional

refrigerator-freezer, or in a cool area.
