Care and cleaning of the freezer.

Cleaning Your Freezer

Outside. 

Protect the paint finish. The

finish on the outside of the freezer is a

high quality, baked-on paint finish. With

proper care, it will stay new-looking and

rust-free for years. Apply a coat of

appliance polish wax when the freezer is

new and then at least twice a year.

Appliance polish wax also works well to

remove tape residue from freezer

surfaces.

Keep the finish clean. 

Wipe with a clean

cloth lightly dampened with appliance

polish wax or mild liquid dishwashing

detergent. Dry and polish with a clean,

soft cloth. Do not wipe the freezer with a

soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel. 

Do not use scouring pads, powdered

cleaners, bleach, or cleaners containing

bleach.

CAUTION: 

Care should be taken in moving the

freezer away from the wall. All types of floor
coverings can be damaged, particularly
cushioned coverings and those with embossed
surfaces.

Inside. 

Clean the inside of your freezer at

least once a year. We recommend that the

freezer be unplugged before cleaning. If

this is not practical, wring excess moisture

out of sponge or cloth when cleaning in

the vicinity of switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda

solution—about a tablespoon of baking

soda to a quart of water. Rinse thoroughly

with water and wipe dry. Do not use

cleaning powders or other abrasive

cleaners.
An open box of baking soda in the freezer

will absorb stale freezer odors. Change

the box every three months.

No Defrosting

(on No-Frost models)

You never have to defrost your new No-

Frost freezer. It has been pre-set at the

factory to defrost itself automatically.
Package labels always remain clearly legible,

and packages will remain easy to separate

and remove.

During defrosting, a slight noise may be

noticed if the door is opened while the

freezer is in the automatic defrosting cycle.

To Remove the Freezer Door

(on Upright models)

Lift up the plastic hinge cover and fold it

back. It is very important that a screwdriver

be used both to loosen and retighten the

flat head screws on the top hinge, to insure

a secure assembly and prevent hinge

slippage.
Remove the top hinge from the cabinet,

then lift the door off the lower hinge pin.

After the door is removed from the freezer,

remove the two screws from the bottom

hinge.
To replace the door, reverse the order of

the above instructions.
