Using the cool pack
The cool pack prevents the
temperature in the freezer from rising
too quickly in the event of a power
outage.
Place the cool pack in the upper
drawer, directly on top of the food. The
cool pack will be at its most effective
after it has been in the freezer for
approximately 24 hours.
If there is a power outage, place the
cool pack directly on top of the frozen
food in the upper drawer to keep the
food cold for as long as possible.
When placing fresh food in the freezer,
use the cool pack to separate the fresh
food from the already frozen food so
that the frozen food does not begin to
thaw.
The cool pack can also be used to
keep food or drinks cool for a short
period of time in a cooler box or bag.
