	Defrosting Your Freezer
	• Do not place electrical devices into your freezer. Personal injury can occur.
WARNING	• Do not use sharp objects to defrost your freezer. Personal injury and/or
	damage to your freezer can occur.
	• Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, concentrated detergents or bleaches
	on your freezer. Damage can occur.

After you have used your freezer for some time, frost will accumulate inside mostly on the upper part of the foodliner. This is due to warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door is open and is normal. If this frost becomes thicker than 1/4", it should be removed as it will become less energy efficient due to longer running times. Under normal circumstances, defrosting will not be necessary more than once a year. To defrost your freezer properly, follow these instructions:

1.Unplug freezer.

2.Quickly remove all frozen food and store in baskets, cartons or other suitable containers. Keep them well covered with blankets to avoid excessive temperature rise.

3.Place pans of hot water in freezer with lid open to speed melting.

4.Using a wooden spatula or plastic scraper, remove the frost and ice off the foodliner walls as soon as it becomes loose (approximately 15 minutes from start).

5A cloth or towel soaked in hot water will help speed up the process. Remove ice from freezer as soon as it becomes loose. Allowing it to melt will only make cleaning it more difficult.

6. You are now ready to clean your freezer.

Cleaning Your Freezer

Cleaning the Inside

We recommend the following cleaning method: sprinkle baking soda on the sides and bottom of the freezer, this will help in cleaning and odor removal. In order to retain the finish of the freezer cabinet, inside and outside, wash painted and plastic parts only with warm water and mild soap, then rinse and dry. Do not use, under any circumstances, a gritty soap or a scouring pad as they will scratch the finish.

During the defrosting operation, some water may have dripped from the back flange of the lid cover. This is quite normal. Ice has built-up on the lid insulation during normal operation and this ice will melt during defrosting. You will probably have to fold over and dry the gasket on the hinge side of the lid to complete the cleaning process.

Cleaning the Outside

Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
