Whirlpool EHISOCXL - Manual (Page 7)

If you need service or
assistance, we suggest you
follow these four steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind
If elecfricify goes off
Learn how long power will be oft by calling the
power company.
1. If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less,
keep freezer closed. Most food will stay frozen.
2. If service is to be interrupted longer than 24
hours, do this:
(a) Remove all frozen food and store in a fro­
zen food locker. Or...
(b) Place dry ice on top of food, using as large
pieces as possible. Protect your hands with
gloves when using dry ice.
(c) If neither food locker storage nor dry ice is
available, use or can perishable food at
once.
3. The length of time food will stay frozen de­
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.
If freezer stops running
If motor seems to run too long
1. If large amounts of unfrozen food have been
put into the freezer, motor will run longer
2. On hot summer days or if room is hot, motor
will ruh longer to provide correct amount of
cooling.
If freezer feels warm
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.
If frost builds up on the trim strip around top of
cabinet
1. Check the fit of the lid to make sure it is seal­
ing. With the lid closed, press down firmly on
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.
2. Do not open or close the lid by grasping a
corner. Use the handle.
