23 CARE AND CLEANING Protecting your investment Keeping your appliance clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the appliance at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions: • Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel. • Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher. • Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning. • Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface. • Do not remove the serial plate. Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels, metallic scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials or strong alkaline solutions. Manual Defrost Upright Freezer (some models) CAUTION Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid electrical hazard) from power source when defrosting unit. Between Defrosting 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 freezer when ¼" to ½" of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate faster on 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. Before unplugging the unit for defrosting, empty the lower basket of contents. The basket comes with a garden hose attachment feature hidden behind a cover (see Figure 1). NOTE If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components will continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. CAUTION • Pull the appliance straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. • Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands. CAUTION Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch interior metal surfaces with wet or damp hands. Figure 1 Remove the cover by pulling the cover straight back using fingers (see Figure 2). Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost automatically, but should be cleaned occasionally.
