To clean the Whirlpool WZF56R16DW Upright Freezer, follow these steps:

1. Unplug the freezer or disconnect power before cleaning.
2. Remove all frozen food from the freezer and wrap it in several layers of newspaper or store it in a cooler.
3. Remove all removable parts, such as shelves and bins, from the freezer.
4. Hand wash the removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, as they can damage the surfaces.
5. To remove odors, you can wash the interior walls with a mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water).
6. Rinse the removable parts and interior surfaces with clean water and dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth.
7. Clean the condenser coils regularly using a vacuum with an extended attachment when they are dusty or dirty. This can help save energy.
8. Replace all removable parts back into the freezer.
9. Plug in the freezer or reconnect power.
10. Set the temperature control to the desired setting.

It is important to note that you should not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue from the freezer, as they can damage the surface. Additionally, do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold, as they may break. Use both hands when removing glass shelves or covers to avoid dropping them.
