• On chest models with a defrost drain,
place a shallow pan beneath the drain outlet
(Figure 2). A ½ inch garden hose adapter can
be used to drain the freezer directly into a oor
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).

Defrost water will drain out. Check pan
occasionally so water does not overow. Replace
the drain plugs when defrosting is completed.
• 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, ll
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 l) 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 SERIAL PLATE.
