Kenmore 106.511800 manual Moving, If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On

•The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed.

•The interior lights are LEDs that cannot be changed.

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or

doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold and frozen.

If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:

•Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

Place 2 Ibs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to 4 days.

If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
