Slide-Aside Basket

This basket helps organize odd-shaped items. To reach other packages in the freezer,

slide the basket aside or lift out.

Fast Freezing Shelves

These shelves contain cooling coils to freeze foods quickly and allow cold air to

constantly circulate throughout the freezer. Do not use sharp metal objects such as

ice picks or scrapers to clean the shelves. This could damage the shelves and reduce

their cooling ability. These shelves are not adjustable.

Drop Front Shelf

The Drop Front Shelf, located at the bottom of the freezer, provides a separate

compartment for small irregular shaped items or large, bulky items. Lift the shelf front

up and out to remove.

Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost automatically, but should be

cleaned occasionally. Before cleaning or defrosting, unplug the power cord from the

electrical outlet.

Between Defrostings

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.

Defrosting

It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when 1/4 to 1/2 inch of frost has

accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate faster on the 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.

• On upright models with a defrost drain (Figure 1), remove the drain plug on the

inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out. To access the external drain

tube on models with a base panel, first remove the two 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. Replace the drain plug when defrosting

and cleaning are completed. If the drain is left open, warm air may enter the

freezer.

• On chest models with a defrost drain, place a shallow pan beneath the drain

outlet (Figure 2). A one half 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 on following

page). Defrost water will drain out. Check pan occasionally so water does not

overflow. Replace the drain plugs when defrosting is completed.
