Using the drain system
(On some models)
The freezer’s drain system consists of:
• drain cap and sleeve (at the liner and cabinet
bottom); and
• drain hose.
The drain hose carries defrost water out of the
freezer, and through the area behind the base
grille, into a customer provided pan for disposal.
NOTE: The drain cap must be removed before
defrosting the freezer, and replaced securely
afterward.

Using the key eject lock
(On some models)
If your freezer is equipped with a lock, rt can help
reduce the hazard of child entrapment.
To lock or unlock the freezer, you must hold
the key in the lock while turning. The lock is
spring loaded, so the key cannot be left in the
lock.
If the key is lost, contact your Whirlpool dealer
for a replacement. Always give the complete
model and serial number of your freezer when
requesting a replacement key.
