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

can occur.

Do not place electrical devices such as fans or hair dryers in freezer when defrosting.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
