pends on several factors. For instance: a full
freezer will remain cold longer than a freezer
only partially 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, al­
though the quality and flavor may be af­
fected, Use this food as soon as convenient. If
the condition of the food is poor or is any way
questionable, it is wise to dispose of it.

1. Check to see if power cord is plugged into
the outlet.
2. Check fuse box or circuit breaker.

put into the freezer, motor will run longer.

During normal operating conditions the freezer
transfers heat removed from food packages and
air space to the outside room air. The freezer cab­
inet may feel warm.

the edges or at the center of the lid. This pres­
sure will cause the flexible lid to fit flat against
the cabinet and seal.
