13 CARE AND CLEANING CAUTION Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch interior metal surfaces with wet or damp hands. Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost automatically, but should be cleaned occasionally. Cleaning the Inside Wash inside surfaces of the unit with a solution of 2 tbsp. (25 g) of baking soda in 1 qt. (1 l) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area of the controls, or any electrical parts. Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher. Vacation and Moving Tips Short Vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than 3 weeks. Long Vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. Leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth. Moving: Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. Remove foods, then defrost, and clean the appliance. Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. In the moving vehicle, secure unit in an upright position to prevent movement. Also protect outside of the appliance with a blanket, or similar item. Cleaning the Outside Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of the tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE. WARNING If leaving door open while on vacation, make certain that children cannot get into the appliance and become entrapped. WARNING Do not open door unnecessarily if unit is off for several hours.
