Care & Cleaning
• Pull out the drain plug inside the freezer
(see gure 4). Defrost water will drain
out. Check pan occasionally so water
does not overow.

• Replace the drain plugs when defrosting
and cleaning are completed. If the
drain is left open, warm air may enter
the freezer.
To Defrost Models without Defrost Drain:
• Place towels or newspapers on the
freezer bottom to catch the frost. The
frost will loosen and fall.
• Remove the towels and/or newspapers.
• If the frost is soft, remove it by using a
plastic scraper. If the frost is glazed and
hard, ll deep pans with hot water and
place them on the freezer bottom.
• Close the freezer door/lid. Frost should
soften in about 15 minutes.
• Repeat this procedure is necessary.

the freezer when defrosting and cleaning
are completed. If the drain is left open,
warm air may enter the freezer.
To Defrost Chest Models with Defrost Drain:
• Place a shallow pan beneath the drain
outlet. Pull out the outside drain plug
(see gure 2). A ½ inch garden hose
adapter can be used to drain the
freezer directly into a oor drain (see
gure 3). If your model is not equipped
with an adapter, one can be purchased
at most hardware stores.
