care and cleaning

CAUTION Damp objects stick to cold metal

surfaces. Do not touch interior metal surfaces with wet or damp hands.

Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid electrical hazard) from power source when defrosting unit.

Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost automati- cally, but should be cleaned occasionally.

Between Defrostings

To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic scraper to remove frost. Scrape with a pulling motion. Never use a metal instrument to remove frost.

Chest Divider (Some Chest Models)

Use these clever dividers to custom-arrange a variety of different-sized storage bins in the bottom of your chest freezer. Use the peel-n-stick labels found in your literature packet to help remind you which items are stored where. If you have

an item that isn’t already covered by one of the pre-printed labels then use one of the blank labels and a permanent marking pen to make your own custom label. Labels can be peeled off when no longer needed and replaced by new and different ones.

Defrosting

It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when ¼ to

½inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accu- mulate faster on the upper part of the freezer due to warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door is opened. Remove food and leave the door open when defrosting the freezer.

To Defrost Upright Models with Defrost Drain:

·Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling it straight out.

·To access external drain tube on models with a base panel, first remove the two screws from the base panel. Locate the drain tube near the left center under the freezer.

·Place a shallow pan under the drain tube. Defrost water will drain out. Check the pan occasionally so water does not overflow (see figure 1).

·A ½ inch garden hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer directly into a floor drain.If your model is not equipped with an adapter, one can be purchased at most hardware stores.

·Replace the drain plug when defrosting and cleaning are completed. If the drain is left open, warm air may enter the freezer.
