desired location.
Slide-Aside Basket
(some chest models)
This basket helps organize odd-shaped items.
To reach other packages in the freezer, slide the
basket aside or lift out.
Fast Freezing Shelves (manualdefrost
upright models)
These shelves contain cooling coils to freeze
foods quickly and allow cold air to constantly
circulate throughout the freezer. Do not use sharp
metal objects such as ice picks or scrapers to
clean the shelves. This could damage the shelves
and reduce their cooling ability. These shelves are
not adjustable.
Chest Divider (some chestmodels)
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.
Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do
not touch interior metal surfaces with wet or
damp hands.
Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost
automatically, but should be cleaned occasionally.
Between Defrosting
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.
Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid electrical
hazard) from power source when defrosting unit.
Defrosting
It is important to defrost and clean freezer when
1/4to 1/2inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may
tend to accumulate faster on 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.
• On upright models with a defrost drain
(Figure 1), remove drain plug on the inside
floor of the freezer by pulling 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 pan occasionally
so water does not overflow. A 1/2" 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.
Examples of Chest Divider Configurations
Figure 1
• On chest models with a defrost drain,
place a shallow pan beneath the drain outlet
(Figure 2). A 1/2" garden hose adapter can
be used to drain the freezer directly into
a floor drain (Figure 3). If your model is
not equipped with an adapter, one can be
purchased at most hardware stores. Pull out
the drain plug inside the freezer, and pull off
the outside defrost drain plug (Figure 4).

On models without a defrost drain, place
towels or newspapers on the freezer bottom
to catch the frost. The frost will loosen and
fall. Remove towels and/or newspapers.
If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plastic
scraper. If the frost is glazed and hard, fill
deep pans with hot water and place them on
the freezer bottom. Close the freezer door.
Frost should soften inabout 15 minutes.
Repeat this procedure if necessary.
Cleaning the Inside
After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the
unit with a solution of 2 tbsp. (25 g) of baking
soda in 1 qt. (1 I) warm water. Rinse and dry.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth
when cleaning in the area of the controls, or any
electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda
solution mentioned above, or mild detergent and
warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use metallic
scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or
alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash
removable parts in a dishwasher.
Cleaning the Outside
Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild
liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments, which can scratch the freezer
surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue
left from the tape can be removed with a mixture
of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the
residue with the sticky side of the tape already
removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.

Vacation and Hoving Tips
Short Vacations: Leave the unit operating
during vacations of less than 3 weeks.
Long Vacations: Ifthe appliance will not be used
for several months, remove all food and unplug the
power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
Leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if
necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.
Moving: Disconnect the power cord plug from
the wall outlet. Remove food, defrost, and then
clean the unit. Secure all loose items such as
base panel, baskets, and shelves by taping
them securely in place to prevent damage.
In the moving vehicle, secure the appliance
in an upright position, and secure to prevent
movement. Also protect outside of the unit with a
blanket, or similar item.
If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will
stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the freezer
is kept closed. If the power failure continues,
pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the
freezer every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow
Pages under "Dry Ice," "Dairies," or "Ice Cream
Manufacturers" for local dry ice suppliers.
Always wear gloves and use caution when
handling dry ice.
If the freezer has stopped operating,
see "Freezer does not run" in the Before you Call
section of this manual. If you cannot solve the
problem, call an authorized servicer immediately.
If the freezer remains off for several hours,
follow the directions above for the use of dry ice
during a power failure. If necessary, take the
food to a local locker plant until the freezer is
ready to operate. Look in the Yellow Pages under
"Frozen Food Locker Plants."
