Key Eject Lock
(on some models)
If your freezer is equipped with a lock, it can greatly reduce the
hazard of child entrapment.
To lock or unlock the freezer, you must hold the key in the lock
while turning. The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot be left
in the lock.
If the key is lost, contact your dealer for a replacement. Always
give the model and serial number of your freezer when requesting
a replacement key.
Signal Light
(on some models)
The signal light assures you that your freezer is running. If the
signal light is not glowing, immediately check for:
■
Power interruption.
■
An unplugged power cord.
■
An open circuit breaker or blown fuse.
■
A burned out signal light.
FREEZER CARE
Defrosting and Cleaning Your Freezer
Defrost and clean your freezer when frost has built up to about
¹⁄₄ in. (6 mm) thickness. Complete defrosting and cleaning should
be done at least once a year. In high humidity areas, a freezer
may need more frequent defrosting and cleaning.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on your freezer. Do not use cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners
containing petroleum on plastic parts. Damage can occur.
NOTE: For models with a defrost water drain, the drain cap must
be removed before defrosting the freezer and replaced securely
afterward.
1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2. Remove all frozen food. Wrap frozen food in several layers of
newspaper and cover with a blanket. Food will stay frozen for
several hours. You may also store frozen food in a cooler,
additional refrigerator-freezer, or in a cool area.
3.
For models with a drain system:
Remove the drain cover by pulling it straight out. Then insert
the hose adapter (provided) into the drain outlet. Remove the
rubber stopper from inside the bottom of the freezer. Place a
pan under the drain, or attach a hose to the threaded end of
the hose adapter and direct the water into a separate drain.
NOTE: Check the drain pan frequently to avoid water
overflow. Have a second pan handy for easier emptying.
For models without a drain system:
Remove water using a sponge or baster to remove excess
water from the freezer bottom and empty water into a large
pan.
