DOOR GASKETS Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to assure a proper seal. • Clean door gaskets every 3 months with solution of baking soda and warm water. • Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and assure a good seal. DEFROSTING AND DRAINING The following warning is for models HFC9204ACW and HFC1104ACW only: DANGER Fire or Explosion Hazard Flammable refrigerant used. Do not use mechanical devices to defrost freezer. Do not puncture refrigerant tubing. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or re. For most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4" (6 mm) thick. IMPORTANT: • Do not use mechanical devices to defrost freezer. • Do not use boiling water as it may damage the freezer. 1. Turn the temperature control to OFF and unplug the freezer. NOTE: Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open. 2. Place a tray (not included) in front of the freezer, beneath the outer drain plug, to collect the water. Unscrew and remove both the interior and exterior drain plugs to allow the water to flow out into the tray. NOTE: Water that has accumulated at the bottom of the freezer during defrosting will drain into the pan. Monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow. 3. When defrosting is complete, wipe the interior of the freezer with a soft cloth, and replace the drain plugs. 14
