NS-UZ17WH0 / NS-UZ17SS0 / NS-UZ17SS0-C NS-UZ21WH0 / NS-UZ21WH0-C Maintaining your freezer Your freezer is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance. We recommend that you do the following every time you clean it to keep your freezer running odor free and efficiently: CAUTION: To prevent damage to the finish, do not use gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other solvents, and do not use abrasive cleaners. 1 Unplug your freezer from the wall outlet. 2 Remove all food. 3 Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution. 4 Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in a solution of one quart of lukewarm water to two tablespoons of baking soda solution. 5 Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth. 6 Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently. Storing your freezer 1 Unplug your freezer from the wall outlet. 2 Remove all food. 3 Clean the freezer. 4 Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odor. CAUTION: Use extreme caution with children. The unit should not be accessible to child's play. Moving your freezer 1 Unplug your freezer from the wall outlet. 2 Remove all food. 3 Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer. 4 Tape the door shut. Be sure the freezer does not tilt more than 45° from the upright position during transportation. Tips on saving energy • Locate your freezer in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of the direct sunlight. • Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil. • Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer. 12 www.insigniaproducts.com
