If you need service or
assistance, we suggest you
foiiow these four steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from
little things you can find and fix yourself with­
out tools of any kind.
If electricity goes off:
Learn how long power will be off by calling the
power company.
• If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less,
keep freezer closed. Most food will stay frozen.
• If service is to be interrupted longer than 24
hours, do this:
1. Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen
food locker. Or..
Place dry ice on top of food, using as large
pieces as possible. Protect your hands with
gloves when using dry ice.
neither food locker storage or dry ice Is
available, use or can perishable food at
once.
• The length oftime food will stay frozen depends
on several factors. For instance: a full freezer
will remain cold longerthan a freezer only par­
tially filled. And a freezer full of meat will stay
cold longer than a freezer filled with baked
goods. Also, if the food still contains ice crystals,
it may be safely refrozen, although the quality
and flavor may be affected. Use this food as
soon as convenient. If the condition of the food
is poor or is in any way questionable, it is wise
to dispose of it.
If freezer stops running:
