ChEST DIVIDER (SOME ChEST MODElS)

Use  these  clever  dividers  to  custom-arrange  a  variety  of 
different-sized storage bins in the bottom of your chest freezer. 
Use the peel-n-stick labels found in your literature packet to 
help remind you which items are stored where. If you have 
an item that isn’t already covered by one of the pre-printed 

labels  then  use  one  of  the  blank  labels  and  a  permanent 

marking pen to make your own custom label. Labels can be 

peeled off when no longer needed and replaced by new and 

different ones.

CARE AND ClEANING

Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost automati-
cally, but should be cleaned occasionally.

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 ¼ to 

½ inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accu

-

mulate 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.

Damp objects stick to cold metal 
surfaces.  Do not touch interior metal 

surfaces with wet or damp hands.
Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid electrical 
hazard) from power source when defrosting unit.

CAUTION

To Defrost Upright Models with Defrost Drain:

·  Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by 

pulling it straight out.

·  To access 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 the pan occasionally so water does 

not overflow (see figure 1).

·  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.

·  Replace the drain plug when defrosting and cleaning are 

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

freezer.
