Defrosting
WARNING
• To avoid electrical shock which can
cause severe personal injury or
death, disconnect power to freezer
before defrosting.
• Water damage due to improper
defrosting or drainage may cause
mold/mildew growth.
CAUTION
To avoid property damage, do not use
sharp or pointed instruments to scrape
frost from shelves or interior surfaces.
Manual defrost freezers need to be
defrosted when frost has accumulated to
approximately " (6 mm) of thickness.
¼
Complete defrosting and cleaning should
be done at least once a year. In high
humidity areas, more frequent defrosting
and cleaning may be necessary. The
upper section of the freezer will generally
have more frost accumulation than the
lower. Frost should not be scraped or
pulled out of the freezer, as damage may
result.
Amana Free-O-Frost™ (select models)
freezers do not require defrosting.

move shelves. Shelves are part of
the sealed cooling system and
