Defrosting Instructions

In most climates, defrosting will be necessary only about
twice a year .
To have your freezer operate most efficiently, do not
permit more than 1/4" (6 mm) thickness of frost, on
average, to accumulate on the walls .
To remove frost, scrape with a plastic or wood spatula or
scraper .
For Complete Defrosting
1 . Turn the temperature control to far left COLD setting
and unplug the freezer .
2 . Remove all food and place it in corrugated boxes,
insulated bags, picnic coolers, etc . Use towels and
newspapers for insulation as needed .
3 . Place a tray (not included) in front of the freezer,
beneath the exterior drain plug to collect the water .
Pull out the drain plug about 1" until the drain hole
on the plug shows completely . Turn the drain plug
clockwise until the arrow is pointed down . Unscrew
counterclockwise to remove the interior drain plug .
This allows the water to flow out into the tray .
NOTE: Water that has accumulated at the bottom of
the freezer during defrosting will drain into the tray .
Monitor the tray under the drain to avoid overflow .
