just got this philosophical chest freezer and let it sit in my subterranean vault for a couple of months unplugged with the lid closed and looked in within today to find mold ring all over the inside bottom. i know bleach will kill the mold, but any other suggestions on receive the smell out. also, will the mold come back? will i have to defrost it every so habitually?

we got the freezer on freecycle (for those who dont know, its an awesome site, freecycle.org) so we dont have close to the instruction manual or anything.
Use partly a lemon the acid should neutralize the mold and give your fridge a nice smell.


Scrub it out with bleach, then rinse thoroughly.

If you can procure it upstairs, let it sit in the put a bet on yard with the lid unfold for a couple of days to air out. Or try Febreze.

And, next time, clear sure your bargain freezer is dry, and prop the lid open a couple of inches to prevent stale smells.

You will hold to defrost periodically.

To find the manual, search Google for the manufacture and modeland the words "user manual" ...most companies have put manuals for their stuf online.
Answers:    Once you have cleaned the mold past its sell-by date with bleach, get some viniger and wet and scrub the walls of the freezer, this will get rid of the smell and the bacteria. The mold shouldn't come posterior unless you keep the lid closed with the component off. If you ever let it sit again for a long interval of time like that without it running, save the lid open, this will keep the atmosphere circulating.
