CARE AND CLEANING
Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost automati-
cally, but should be cleaned occasionally.
BETWEEN DEFROSTINGS
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.
DEFROSTING
It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when ¼ to
½inchoffrosthasaccumulated.Frostmaytendtoaccu-
mulate faster on the 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.
Damp objects stick to cold metal
surfaces. Do not touch interior metal
surfaces with wet or damp hands.
Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid electrical
hazard) from power source when defrosting unit.

AUTION
To Defrost Upright Models with Defrost Drain:
· Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by
pulling it straight out.
· To access external drain tube on models with a base panel,
rstremovethetwo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 the pan occasionally so water does
not overflow (see figure 1).
· A ½ inch 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 the
freezer.
