Care and Cleaning Keep your freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean at least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning. CAUTION • When moving the freezer, pull straight out. Do not shift the freezer from side to side as this may tear or gouge the floor covering. • Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch interior metal surfaces with wet or damp hands. NOTE • Turning the freezer temperature control to "OFF" turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect electrical power to the light bulb or other electrical components. To turn off power to your freezer, you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. • Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
