ENERGY-SAVING TIPS • 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.
CARE AND CLEANING Drain Tube Drain Pan Defrost Drain Figure 1B Figure 2 Hose Adaptor Defrost Drain Plug Figure 1C • 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 (see figure 1D). Replace the drain plug when defrosting and cleaning are completed.

Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher. Cleaning the Outside Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food.
