DEFROSTING
CAUTION: Freezer must be unplugged to avoid electrical hazard from power source when
defrosting the unit.
On upright models with a defrost drain (Figure 1), remove
the drain plug on the interior floor of the freezer by pulling
straight out. To access the external drain tube on models
with the base panel, remove the two screws from the base
panel. Locate the drain tube near the left center under the
freezer. Place a shallow pan under the drain tube. Defrost
water will run out. Check the pan occasionally to ensure
that the drain water does not overflow. A ½ inch garden
hose adapter cab be used to drain the freezer directly into a
floor drain. If the model used is not equipped with an
adapter, one can be purchased at most hardware stores.
Replace the drain plug when defrosting and cleaning are
complete. If the drain is left unplugged, warm air may enter
the freezer.
