Depending on the climate you
live in, humidity and usage,your
freezer may need defrosting only
once or twice a year. If possible,
choose a time to defrost when
food supply is lowest.
The FastestWayto Defrost
Defrosting can be done quickly
and easily by scraping freezing
surfaces with a plastic scraper
or wooden spatula when frost is
approximately 1/2 inch thick.

For PeriodicComplete
Cleaningand FrostRemoval
If frost istoo thick or too hard to
be scraped, we suggestyou do the
following:
1.Remove power cord plug from
outlet.
2. Remove all food from freezer,
Food may be temporarily stored in
large corrugated paper boxes, in-
sulated bags,towels or wrapped in
newspapersto preserve coldness.
3. Some models havea defrost
water drain at the front and a hose
adapter that is packaged in bag in
the bottom of freezer. If your freezer
is so equipped, remove drain cap
on front of freezer, insert hose
connector and attach hose.

4. You may hasten defrosting by
leaving the freezer lid open and
removing large, loose pieces of
frost before they melt, or by adding
pans of hot water.
5. After frost iscompletely
removed, rinse freezer interior
with a solution of warm water and
baking soda(about one tablespoon
of sodato each quart of water),
Mild soap and warm water may be
used, but follow with a baking soda
solution. Rinsewith clean water
and wipe dry. DO NOT use harsh
