CARING FOR YOUR FREEZER

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.Turn Temperature Control to OFF and unplug power cord.

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.

3.Wash the inside walls with a solution of

2 tablespoons (26 mg) baking soda to 1 quart (0.95 L) warm water.

4.Rinse and dry thoroughly.

5.Use a sponge, cloth or paper towel and mild detergent in warm water to clean outside of freezer, door liner and gasket.

6.Rinse and dry thoroughly.

7.Wax painted metal surfaces outside of freezer to provide rust protection.

NOTE: Do not use wax on plastic parts. Wax may damage them.

8.Replace all frozen food.

9.Plug in power cord and refer to “Setting the temperature control” on page 7.

What to do during power outages

1.Call the power company. Ask how long power will be off.

2.Keep freezer closed if service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less.

This will help food stay frozen.

3.If service is to be interrupted longer than

24 hours, do this:

Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker.

OR

Place 2 lbs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for every cubic foot of freezer space. This will keep foods frozen for 2 to 4 days.

OR

If dry ice or a food locker is not available, use or can perishable food at once.

WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

Wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns.

Failure to do so could result in dry ice burns.

NOTE: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partly filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. Food containing ice crystals may be safely refrozen, but the quality and flavor of the food

may be affected.

Use refrozen food quickly. If the condition of the food is poor, or you feel it is unsafe to eat, dispose of it immediately.

Moving care

Remove all frozen food and pack it in dry ice. Unplug the freezer and clean it thoroughly. Tape the door shut and tape electrical cord to the cabinet.

When you get to your new home, refer to pages 5 and 6 for information on installation and setting controls.
