Cleaning Your Freezer
This freezer should be cleaned before you use it.
Also clean when frost has built up to about ‘/4 inch
(6mm) thickness. Complete defrosting and clean-
ing 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.
