If you need service or assistance, we su gest you follow these fours Beps: /$j
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.
1.If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep freezer closed. Most food will stay frozen.
2.If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours, do this:
(a)Remove all frozen food and store in a fro- zen food locker. Or...
(b)Place dry ice on top of food, using as large pieces as possible. Protect your hands with gloves when using dry ice.
(c)If neither food locker storage nor dry ice is
available, use or can perishable food at once.
3.The length of time food will stay frozen de- pends on several factors. For instance: a full freezer will remain cold longer than a freezer only partially 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, al- though the quality and flavor may be af- fected. Use this food as soon as convenient. If the condition of the food is poor or is any way
questionable, it is wise to dispose of it.
If freezer stops running:
1.Check to see if power cord is plugged into the outlet.
2. Check fuse box or circuit breaker.
3. Check electric company for a power failure.
If motor seems to run too long:
1.If large amounts of unfrozen food have been put into the freezer, motor will run longer.
2.On hot summer days or if room is hot, motor will run longer to provide correct amount of cooling.
If freezer feels warm:
During normal operating conditions the freezer transfers heat removed from food packages and air space to the outside room air. The freezer cab- inet may feel warm.
If frost builds up on the trim strip around top of cabinet:
1.Check the fit of the lid to make sure it is seal- ing. With the lid closed, press down firmly on the edges or at the center of the lid. This pres- sure will cause the flexible lid to fit flat against the cabinet and seal.
2.Do not open or close the lid by grasping a corner. Use the handle.
