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 electricity goes off:
Learn how long power will be off by calling the
power company.
l
If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less,
keep freezer closed. Most food will stay frozen.
If service is to be interrupted longer than 24
hours, do this:
1.
2.
3.
Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen
food locker. Or...
Place dry ice on top of food, using as large
pieces as possible. Protect your hands with
gloves when using dry ice.
If neither food locker storage or dry ice is
available, use or can perishable food at
once.
The length of time food will stay frozen depends
on several factors. For instance: a full freezer
will remain cold longer than a freezer only par-
tially 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, although the quality
and flavor may be affected. Use this food as
soon as convenient. If the condition of the food
is poor or is in any way questionable, it is wise
to dispose of it.
if freezer stops runnlng:
Check to see if power cord is plugged into the
outlet.
Check fuse box or circuit breaker.
Check electric company for a power failure.
Be sure COLD CONTROL is turned on.
if compressor seems to run too long:
l
Check to see that condenser, located on back
of freezer, is free of dust and lint.
l
On hot summer days or if room is hot, compres-
sor will run longer to provide correct amount of
cooling.
l
If large amounts of unfrozen food have been
put into the freezer, compressor will run longer.
l
Check to see that there is enough air circula-
tion space above and in back of freezer.
