Caring for Your Freezer

Your freezer is designed to give you years of dependable service. However, there are a few things you can do to ensure a long product life. This section will tell you how to care for your freezer properly.

Defrosting and cleaning

Defrost and clean your freezer when frost has built up to about l/4 inch (6 mm) thick- ness. 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 deter- gents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic parts. Damage
