Cleaning and Maintenance NO DEFROSTING You never have to defrost your new Frost-Free freezer. It has been preset at the factory to defrost itself automatically. During defrosting, a slight noise may be noticed if the door is opened while the freezer is in the automatic defrosting cycle. CLEANING Outside/Exterior Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with appliance polish wax or mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
Cleaning and Maintenance ENERGY SAVING TIPS The upright freezer 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 upright freezer. Overloading the upright freezer 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 upright freezer.
