•  The appliance should 

be located in the 

coolest area of the 

room, away from heat 

producing appliances 

or heating ducts, and 

out of direct sunlight.

•  Let hot foods cool to room temperature 

before placing in the unit. Overloading the 

appliance forces the compressor to run 

longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may 

lose quality or spoil.

•  Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe 

containers dry before placing them in the 

unit. This cuts down on frost build-up 

inside the unit.

•  Shelves and baskets should not be lined 

with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper 

toweling. Liners interfere with cold air 

circulation, making the freezer less efficient.

•  Organize and label food to reduce door 

openings and extended searches. Remove 

as many items as needed at one time, and 

close door as soon as possible.

Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. 

Do not touch interior metal surfaces with 

wet or damp hands.

Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost 

automatically, but should be cleaned occasionally.

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.

Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid 

electrical hazard) from power source when 

defrosting unit.

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.

drain (Figure 1), remove drain plug on 

the inside floor of the freezer by pulling 

straight out. To access external drain tube 

on models with a base panel, first remove 

the 2 screws from the base panel. Locate 

the drain tube near the left center under 

the freezer. Place a shallow pan under 

the drain tube. Defrost water will drain 

out. Check pan occasionally so water 

does not overflow. A ½ inch garden hose 

adapter can be used to drain the freezer 

directly into a floor drain. If your model 

is not equipped with an adapter, one can 

be purchased at most hardware stores. 

Replace the drain plug when defrosting and 

cleaning are completed. If the drain is left 

open, warm air may enter freezer.

•  On chest models with a defrost drain, 

place a shallow pan beneath the drain 

outlet (Figure 2). A ½ inch garden hose 

adapter can be used to drain the freezer 

directly into a floor drain (Figure 3). If your 

model is not equipped with an adapter, one 

can be purchased at most hardware stores. 

Pull out the drain plug inside the freezer, 

and pull off the outside defrost drain plug 

(Figure 4).
