DEFROSTING INSTRUCTIONS
In most climates, defrosting will be necessary only about twice a year.
To have your freezer operate most efficiently, do not permit more than 1/2
inches of frost to accumulate on the shelves.
To remove this light coating of frost from the shelves, simply scrape with a
plastic or wood spatula or scraper. Scrape the top and bottom surfaces of the
shelves and the refrigerated surface at the top of the cabinet.
Never use an ice pick or metal scraper. Any such instrument can damage
the freezer.
Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your freezer.
For Complete Defrosting
1. Turn the temperature control to OFF.
2. Remove all food and place it in corrugated boxes,
insulated bags, picnic coolers, etc. Use towels and
newspapers for insulation as needed.
3. With the door open, use pans of hot water to
speed loosening of frost. Remove large pieces
before they melt.
4. A drain hose (on some
models) behind the
base grille carries the
defrost water out from
the freezer. Remove
