Cleaning frost-free models
Frost-free means that you will never have to
defrost your freezer. Frost is removed by air
moving and collecting any moisture and
depositing it on the cooling coil. The cooling
coil periodically warms up just enough to melt
the frost and it then flows down to the drain
pan (located behind the base grille) where it is
evaporated.
Complete cleaning should be done at least
once a year.
1. Turn Temperature Control to OFF and
unplug power cord.
2. Remove all frozen food. Wrap frozen food in
several layers of newspaper and cover with
a blanket. Food will stay frozen for several
hours.
