Cle an ing You r F ree zer

This freezer should be cleaned before you use it. Also clean when frost has built up to about 'A Inch (6mm) thickness. Complete defrosting and clean ing should be done at least once a year. In high humidity areas, a freezer may need more frequent defrosting.

Use a sponge, cloth or paper towel and mild detergent in warm water to clean removable parts (trivet), outside of freezer, door liner and gasket. Rinse and then dry.

Waxing painted metal surfaces on outside of freezer provides rust protection.

NOTE: Do not use wax on plastic parts. Wax may

damage them.

Wash the inside walls with a solution of 2 table spoons (26 g) baking soda to 1 quart (.95 L) warm water. Rinse and then dry.

^WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

Watch out for sharp wire ends at top of

condenser coils. They can cause injury or damage brush.

To clean condenser coils, use a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment. Slide freezer out away

from the wall. Clean dust and lint from condenser coils behind the freezer, every two or three months.

To clean a freezer needing defrosting, turn Tem perature Control to OFF and unplug power cord. Place a shallow pan (sides no higher than 1 inch) on floor, centered under drain hole in bottom of freezer. Place pans of hot water inside freezer with door open to speed melting. Directing air from an electric fan into freezer will also help.
