English Food Storage Basket (Not in all models) (see fig. # 2) • Depending on your model purchased your freezer may have a food storage basket. Removable baskets allow you to store food more accessibly or you can remove them if not needed. fig. # 2 Defrosting and Draining • Defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4" thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured coil will void the warranty) • Turn the temperature control to OFF position and unplug the unit. Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open. • For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the drain dial (see fig. #3). This will let the water flow out in the tray. When done, push the drain dial in. Re-plug the drain plug inside the freezer compartment. Note: monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow. • Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in the electrical outlet. • Reset the temperature control to the desired setting. fig. # 3 8
