Care and cleaning of the freezer.
Preparing for Vacation
To maintain freezer in operation during
vacations, be sure your house power is not
turned off. For sure protection of freezer
contents, you may want to ask a neighbor
to check the power supply and freezer
operation every 48 hours.
For extended vacations or absences, you
may prefer to move your frozen foods to a
storage locker temporarily. If your freezer is
to be left empty, disconnect power cord plug
from wall outlet. To prevent formation of
odors, place open box of baking soda in
freezer and leave freezer door/lid open.
When the freezer is not operating, it can be
left in an unheated house or room without
damage to cabinet or mechanism.
Preparing to Move
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall
outlet. Remove foods, defrost (on Manual
Defrost models) and clean the freezer.
Secure all loose items such as grille and
shelves by taping them securely in place
to prevent damage.
Be sure freezer stays in upright position
during actual moving and in van. The
freezer must be secured in van to prevent
movement. Protect outside of freezer with
blanket.
In Case of Extended Power Failure
■Keep freezer door/lid closed. Your freezer
will keep food frozen for 24 hours provided
warm air is not admitted.
■If freezer is out of operation for 24 hours or
more, add dry ice. Leave ice in large pieces.
Add more ice as required.
WARNING: Handling of dry ice can cause
freezing of the hands—gloves or other
protection is recommended.
■If dry ice is not available, move food to a
frozen food locker temporarily—until power
is restored.
■ The freezer should
be located in the
coolest area of the
room, away from
heat-producing
appliances or
heating ducts, and
out of direct sunlight.
■Let hot foods cool to room temperature
before placing in the freezer. Overloading
the freezer forces the compressor to run
longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may
lose quality or spoil.
■Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe
containers dry before placing them in the
freezer. This cuts down on frost buildup
inside the freezer.
■Freezer shelves should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper
toweling. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the freezer less
efficient.
■Organize and label food to reduce door
openings and extended searches. Remove
as many items as needed at one time, and
close the door as soon as possible.
