To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic 

scraper to remove frost. Scrape with a pulling motion. 

Never use a metal instrument to remove frost.

Short Vacations: Leave the freezer operating during 

vacations of less than three weeks.
Long Vacations: If the freezer will not be used for 

several months, remove all food and unplug the power 

cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent 

odor and mold growth, leave the freezer door open 

slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
Moving: Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall 

outlet. Remove food, defrost, and then clean the freezer. 

Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and 

shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent 

damage. In the moving vehicle, secure freezer in an 

upright position, and secure to prevent movement. Also 

protect outside of freezer with a blanket, or similar item.

Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch 

interior metal surfaces with wet or damp hands.

It is important to defrost and clean freezer when ¼ 

to ½ inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to 

accumulate faster on upper part of the freezer due to 

warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door is 

opened. Remove food and leave the door open when 

defrosting the freezer.
If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plastic scraper. If 

the frost is glazed and hard, fill deep pans with hot water 

and place them on the freezer bottom. Close the freezer 

door. Frost should soften in about 15 minutes. Repeat 
this procedure if necessary.

After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the freezer with 

a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda in one quart 

(1.136 litres) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess 

water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the 

area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution 

mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water. 

Rinse and dry.  Never use metallic scouring pads, 

brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any 

surface. Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.

Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid 

detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft 

cloth. Replace parts and food.

Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid electrical hazard) 

from power source when defrosting unit.
