For your safety
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flam-
mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
unit or any other appliance. Read product
labels for flammability and other warnings.
• Do not operate the unit in the presence of
explosive fumes.
• Remove and discard any spacers
used to secure the shelves during
shipping. Small objects are a choke
hazard to children.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples
can cause severe cuts, and also destroy
finishes if they come in contact with other
appliances or furniture.
Child Safety
Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exte-
rior wrapping material immediately after the
unit isunpacked. Children should never use
these items for play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers and
can quickly cause suffocation.
* An empty, discarded appliance is a very
dangerous attraction to children.
Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is
not in use, even if it is being discarded.
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous - even if they
will sit for"just a few days': If you are getting
rid of your old appliance, please follow the
instructionsbelow to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check
with your utility company or visit www.
recydemyoldfridge.com for more information
on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away
your old appliance:
* Remove door/lid.

Compressor-Hounted Drain Pan
(most upright frost-free models)
Most upright frost-free freezers are equipped with
a compressor-mounted drain pan that collects
condensate during each defrost cycle. This
compressor-mounted drain pan takes advantage
of the heat generated by the compressor to
evaporate condensate water, so there is no need
to empty the pan during each defrost cycle.
Compressor

to room temperature before placing in the
unit. Overloading the appliance forces the
compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze
too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe
containers dry before placing them in the
unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside
the unit.
Shelves and baskets should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making
the freezer less efficient.

, Let hot foods cool
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 2 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 1/2inch 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 freezer.

occasionally so water does not overflow. Replace
the drain plugs when defrosting iscompleted.
• 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. [f 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 in about 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. Replace parts and food.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments, which can scratch the appliance
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 SER:[ALPLATE.
