CLEANING AND CARE
The freezer should be cleaned and
maintained once a month. Before doing
so, you must unplug the freezer.
CLEANING AND
MAINTAINING
Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4
tablespoons of baking soda mixed with
warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth,
dampened with the cleaning solution to
wipe down your freezer.
• Rinse with clean warm water and
dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals,
abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergents, solvents
or metal scouring pads. Some of
these chemicals may dissolve,
damage and/or discolor your
freezer.
Clean door gaskets every three months
according to general instructions.
Gasket must be kept clean and pliable
to assure a proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the
hinge sides of gaskets will keep the
gasket pliable and ensure a good
seal.
CLEANING METHOD
DOOR GASKET
Always unplug your freezer before
cleaning to avoid electric shock.
Ignoring this warning
may result in death or injury
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or
product damage always read and
follow manufacturer’s instructions
and warnings before using any
cleaning products.
CAUTION
In case of a power interruption/outage,
unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet. Replug the power cord to the
wall outlet once the power has been
restored. For long period of power
outage, inspect and discard the spoiled
or thawed foods from the freezer
compartments. Clean the freezer
thoroughly before using again.
POWER INTERRUPTION
• When going on vacation, it is best
that you empty all the food from
your freezer. Set the temperature
dial to “OFF” and unplug the freezer.
Clean the unit as per “Cleaning
Method” and leave the door open to
remove any odors.
• When travelling or moving the
freezer, always transport the unit
vertically. Moving the unit on its
sides may damage the freezer and/
or its compressor.

HOW TO DEFROST
• Defrost the freezer when the frost
accumulated is about 1/8” thick.
• Set the temperature control dial to
“OFF” before defrosting. Remove
all contents from the freezer
compartment and leave the door
open until ice and frost dissolve
thoroughly. Make sure the drip tray
is in place and unplug the unit. After
defrosting, empty water from drip
tray and wipe the compartment dry
with a soft cloth and then adjust
the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
NOTE:
· In case you want to speed up the
defrosting, you may put a bowl of
warm water (about 122°F) into the
freezer.
· Do not heat the evaporator directly
with hot water or hair dryer while
defrosting. Doing so will damage the
freezer compartment.
· Never use a sharp or metallic
instrument to remove frost as it may
damage the freezer and puncture
the cooling coils. It will also void the
warranty. We recommend using a
plastic scraper.
