DEFROSTING ManualDefrost Models Frost comes from moisture entering the freezerwhenthedoorisopened, orclinging to packages placed in it, so it cannot be eliminated in non-frostless models. When frost is too thick -over 1/4 inch- it acts as an insulation which impedes freczing and reduces the effmiency of the unit. Todefrostyourfreezer, tumthetemperature control dial to "OFF*'. Remove frozen foods and wrap well in blankets or newspaper to prevent thawing. Leave the door open while the freezer is defrosting. You may use an electric fan to circulate warm air through the compartment for faster defrosting. DO NOT USE SHARP OR POINTED ARTICLES TO REMOVE THEICE. THEY CAN PIERCE AND DAMAGE THE UNIT. Do not allow water to stand in the bottom of the cabinet. Lay one or more bath towels in the bottom of the freezer to soak up defrost water. When all frost has melted, remove the towels and the water. Wash interior surfaces and removable parts with warm water to which a little baking soda has been added. Rinse well and dry thoroughly,

During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your frozen food by placing blocks of dry ice on top of the packages. If dry ice is not available, see if you can temporarily use a freezer in your local locker plant. BEFORE CALLING A SERVICE-

No Frost Models No-Frost means that you will never 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 just enough to melt the frost and it then flows down to the drain pan (located behind the base grille) where it is evaporated. REPLACING LIGHTBULB

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE ATTEMPTING LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT.
