damage to your freezer can occur.

on your freezer. Damage can occur.
Defrosting Your Freezer
After you have used your freezer for some time, frost will accumulate inside mostly on the upper part of
the foodliner. This is due to warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door is open and is normal.
If this frost becomes thicker than 1/4", it should be removed as it will become less energy efficient due
to longer running times. Under normal circumstances, defrosting will not be necessary more than once
a year. To defrost your freezer properly, follow these instructions:
1. Unplug freezer.
2. Quickly remove all frozen food and store in baskets, cartons or other suitable containers.
Keep them well covered with blankets to avoid excessive temperature rise.
3. Place pans of hot water in freezer with lid open to speed melting.
4. Using a wooden spatula or plastic scraper, remove the frost and ice off the foodliner walls as soon
as it becomes loose (approximately 15 minutes from start).
5 A cloth or towel soaked in hot water will help speed up the process. Remove ice from freezer as
soon as it becomes loose. Allowing it to melt will only make cleaning it more difficult.
6. You are now ready to clean your freezer.
Cleaning the Inside
We recommend the following cleaning method: sprinkle baking soda on the sides and bottom of the
freezer, this will help in cleaning and odor removal. In order to retain the finish of the freezer cabinet,
inside and outside, wash painted and plastic parts only with warm water and mild soap, then rinse and
dry. Do not use, under any circumstances, a gritty soap or a scouring pad as they will scratch the finish.
During the defrosting operation, some water may have dripped from the back flange of the lid cover. This
is quite normal. Ice has built-up on the lid insulation during normal operation and this ice will melt during
defrosting. You will probably have to fold over and dry the gasket on the hinge side of the lid to complete
the cleaning process.
Cleaning the Outside
Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft
cloth.
