tained at a safe and constant low temperature, your
freezer has a magnetic strip in the gasket to main-
tain an airtight seal,
Ihis seat is so effective that the simple action of clos-
ing the door will almost instantly create a vacuum as
the warm air quickly cools
this vacuum will leave in a minute or two If you
must reopen the door sooner, try peeling the gasket
open with fingertips as door is pulled open
