Freezer Features

This manual covers several different models. The freezer you have

purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations of the

features may not match those of your model.

Freezer Shelves

Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different

heights. This reduces the time the freezer door is open and saves

energy.

To Remove and Replace a Shelf:

1. Remove the shelf by lifting straight up, and pulling the shelf out.

2. Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf onto the supports on the

side wall.

Storage Gate (on some models)

To Remove the Storage Gate:

1. Lift up the top of the gate and out of the supports.

2. Return the gate to original position. Lower the gate into the

supports.

Cleaning Your Frost-Free Freezer

Frost-free means that you will not have to defrost your freezer. Frost is

removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and depositing it on

the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically warms up enough to melt

the frost, and it then flows down to the drain pan (located behind the

base grille) where it is evaporated.

Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.

1. Press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds to turn off cooling.

2. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.

3. 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.

4. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves, bins,

etc.

5. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces

thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent

in warm water.

■ Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays,

scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,

concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing

petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or

gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other

harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.

■ To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a

mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to

0.95 L] of water).

6. Replace the removable parts.

7. Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.

Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth

and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh

cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly

with a soft cloth.

8. Remove the base grille by opening the freezer door and removing

the two Phillips-head screws. Pull the grille toward you to remove.
