Vacations...

Arrange for someone to make regular checks of your freezer to make sure it IS operating and electrrcity has not been interruoted.

If freezer is shut off for more than 24 hours:

1.Remove and store all food

2.Unplug freezer.

3.Clean thoroughly. See “Cleaning your freezer,” page 6.

4.Block lid open for air circulation. Turn lock to locked position with lid open. Place blocks between lid and cabinet and tape in place with self-adhesive filament tape.

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

If electrtclty goes off:

Learn how long power will be off by calling the power company.

lIf 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.Remove all unfrozen food and store in a frozen food locker OR...

2.Place 2 Ibs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for every cu. ft. of freezer space. This will keep frozen foods for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns.

3.If neither food locker storage or dry ice is avail- able, use or can perishable food at once.
