Care and cleaning of the freezer.
Cleaning Your Freezer
■Outside. Protect the paint finish. The finish
on the outside of the freezer is a high
quality, baked-on paint finish. With proper
care, it will stay new-looking and rust-free
for years. Apply a coat of appliance polish
wax when the freezer is new and then at
least twice a year. Appliance polish wax
also works well to remove tape residue
from freezer surfaces.
Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with appliance
polish wax or mild liquid dishwashing
detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft
cloth. Do not wipe the freezer with a soiled
dishwashing cloth or wet towel. Do not use
scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach,
or cleaners containing bleach.
CAUTION: Care should be taken in moving
the freezer away from the wall. All types of
floor coverings can be damaged,
particularly cushioned coverings and those
with embossed surfaces.
■Inside. Clean the inside of your freezer at
least once a year. We recommend that the
freezer be unplugged before cleaning. If this
is not practical, wring excess moisture out
of sponge or cloth when cleaning in the
vicinity of switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda
solution–about a tablespoon of baking
soda to a quart of water. Rinse thoroughly
with water and wipe dry. Do not use
cleaning powders or other abrasive
cleaners. DO NOT wash removable parts in
a dishwasher.
An open box of baking soda in the freezer
will absorb stale freezer odors. Change the
box every three months.
CAUTION: Damp objects stick to cold metal
surfaces. DO NOT touch interior metal
surfaces with wet or damp hands.
CAUTION: Freezer must be unplugged to
avoid electrical hazard from power source
when defrosting unit.
Some upright freezers are frost-free and
defrost automatically, but should be
cleaned occasionally.

No Defrosting (on No-Frost models)
You never have to defrost your new No-Frost
freezer. It has been pre-set at the factory to
defrost itself automatically.
Package labels always remain clearly legible,
and packages will remain easy to separate
and remove.
During defrosting, a slight noise may be
noticed if the door is opened while the freezer
is in the automatic defrosting cycle.
