Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your
freezer, follow basic precautions including the following:
l
Read all instructions before using the

l
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned freezers are still
dangerous...even if they will “just
sit in the garage a few days:’
If you are getting rid of your old freezer,
do it safely. Please read the enclosed
safety booklet from the Association of
Home Appliance Manufacturers. Help
prevent accidents.
l
Never allow children to operate, play
with, or crawl inside the freezer.
. FOR YOUR SAFETY
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY
OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN
CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.

Cleaning Your Freezer
This freezer should be cleaned before you use it.
Also clean when frost has built up to about Y4 inch
(6mm) thickness. Complete defrosting and cleaning 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.
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.
Personal Injury Hazard
Watch out for sharp wire ends at top of
condenser coils. They can cause injury or
damage brush.
To clean a freezer needing defrosting, turn Temperature 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.
Do not place electrical devices in freezer.
Shock or injury can occur.
I
Use a plastic scraper to remove frost. Remove
water from walls with towel or sponge. Wash, rinse
and dry as above.
NOTE: Do not use an ice pick, knife or other
sharp-pointed tool or any type of electric defroster
to defrost freezer.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleansers on
your freezer. Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers contain-
ing petroleum on plastic parts because they may
damage these parts.
