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 the "Accessories" section.
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 the "Using the Control" section.

Changing the Light Bulb

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your freezer. Be sure to
replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.
1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2. Remove the light shield. From the back of the light shield, pull
forward and down.
3. Replace the light bulb with an appliance bulb of the same
wattage.
4. Plug in freezer or reconnect power.

Power Interruptions

If the electricity in your house goes off, call the power company
and ask how long it will be off.
1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep freezer
closed to help foods stay frozen.
2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:
a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
b) Place 2 lbs (.907 kg) of dry ice in the freezer for every
cubic foot (28.32 L) of freezer space. This will keep the
food frozen for two to four days.
c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, use up or
can perishable food at once.
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 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 and pack it in dry ice.
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.
