Care and Maintenance

CLEANING

Now the liner is ready to be cleaned. Sprinkle baking soda on the bottom and walls. This will help in cleaning and odor removal. In order to retain the finish of the freezer cabinet inside and outside, wash only with warm water and mild soap, then rinse and dry. Do not under any circumstances use a gritty soap or a kitchen scouring cleanser, as these tend to scratch the finish.

VACATION TIME

For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at its normal setting.

During longer absences,

(a)remove all foods.

(b)disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.

(c)defrost and clean the freezer thoroughly.

(d)leave lid open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mold or odors.

ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL FAILURE

In the event of a general power failure, it is important to keep the contents of your freezer frozen. For your protection, it is recommended to locate a dealer of dry ice (solidified carbon dioxide) as soon as possible in order to know where to go in case of an emergency. Many ice cream manufactur- ers use dry ice and this will keep the contents of your freezer at safe tem- peratures until the emergency has passed.

In case of failure, it is recommended to keep the freezer well covered with blankets. This will help preserve the “cold” inside the freezer. If no help is available within 12 hours, the freezer contents should be transferred into a neighbors freezer (if available).

In the event of mechanical or electrical failure of the freezer, contact a service agent immediately and give complete information of your freezer, the model number and the serial number. These are shown on the serial plate located on the exterior (rear) cabinet wall.

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your freezer temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of lid openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer dura- tion, take steps to protect your food by placing dry ice on top of packages.

IF YOU MOVE

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the unit. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way into the base.

SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF THE

FREEZER

•Never place hot foods in the freezer.

•Never place spoiled foods in the unit.

•Don’t overload the unit.

•Don’t open the lid unless necessary.

•Should the freezer be stored without use for long periods, it is sug- gested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the lid open to allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid the possibility of condensation, mold or odors.
