POWER FAILURE / FREEZER FAILURE
NOTE
Do not open freezer door unnecessarily if freezer is off for several hours.
If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the freezer is kept closed. If the power failure continues, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the freezer every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under Dry Ice, Dairies or Ice Cream Manufacturers for local dry ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use caution when handling dry ice.
If the freezer has stopped operating, see "FREEZER DOES NOT RUN" in the "TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE" section. If you cannot solve the problem, call Sears Service immediately.
If the freezer remains off for several hours, follow the directions above for the use of dry ice during a power failure. If necessary, take the food to a local locker plant until the freezer is ready to operate. Look in the Yellow Pages under Frozen Food Locker Plants.
