Complete defrosting and cleaning should
be done at least once a year. In high
humidity areas, more frequent defrosting
and cleaning may be necessary. The
upper section of the freezer will generally
have more frost accumulation than the
lower. Frost should not be scraped or
pulled out of the freezer, as damage may
result.
