4. Style 1–Models with a drain system

Reach under the unit and pull the drain hose out through the

opening. The drain hose carries defrost water out of the

freezer, and through the area behind the base grille. Place a

large shallow pan under the drain hose. Remove the drain

cap inside freezer.

NOTE: Check the drain pan frequently to avoid water

overflow. Have a second pan handy for easier emptying.

Style 2–Models without a drain system

Remove water from the freezer bottom using a sponge or

baster and empty the water into a large pan.

5. Place pans of hot water in freezer with door open to speed

melting. Directing air from an electric fan into freezer will also

help. Do not place fan or any electrical device in freezer.

6. Use a plastic scraper to remove frost.

NOTE: Do not use an ice pick, knife, or other sharp-pointed

tool to defrost freezer. Damage can occur.

7. Wipe water from walls with a towel or sponge.

8. Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in

warm water or 2 tbs (26 mg) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L)

warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.

9. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

10. Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.

Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft

cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive

or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel.

Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional protection

against damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance

wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax

plastic parts.

Stainless steel finish: Wash with a clean sponge or soft

cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive

or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel.

Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

■ To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator looking like new

and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that

you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel

Cleaner & Polish.

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for Stainless Steel parts only!

■ Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come

into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim

pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If accidental

contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and

mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft

cloth. To order the cleaner, see “Accessories.”

11. For models with a drain system, you should replace the drain

hose, drain cap and base grille.

12. Replace all frozen food.

13. Plug in freezer or reconnect power.

14. See “Using the Control.”

replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.

2. Replace the light bulb with an appliance bulb of the same

wattage.

5. Plug in freezer or reconnect power.

Power Interruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door closed

to help food stay cold and frozen.

If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the

following:

■ Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

■ If a food locker is not available, consume or can perishable

food at once.

After the power is restored, unplug the freezer for 30 minutes, to

allow the refrigeration system to equalize. During this time keep

the door closed whenever possible.

REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled

one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of

baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be

refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the

condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

Moving Care

1. Remove all frozen food.

2. Unplug the freezer.

3. Clean it thoroughly.

4. Tape the freezer shut and tape the electrical cord to the

cabinet.

When you get to your new home, refer to the “Installation

Instructions” and “Freezer Use” sections for information on

installation and setting the controls.
