DEFROSTINGS
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 importantto defrost and clean the freezer when ¼ to Y2
inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accumu-
late faster on the 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.
• On upright models with a defrost drain (Figure 1),
remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer
by pullingstraightout. To access the external drain tube
on models with a base panel, first remove the two
screws from the base panel. Locate the drain tube near
the left center under the freezer. Place a shallow pan
under the drain tube. Defrostwater willdrain out. Check
pan occasionallyso water does not overflow.A 1/2inch
garden hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer
directlyinto a floor drain.If your model is not equipped
with an adapter, one can be purchasedat mosthard-
ware stores. Replace the drain plugwhen defrostingand
cleaningare completed. Ifthe drain is leftopen, warm air
may enter the freezer.
