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 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.
