Performance problems ore sometimes caused by little things you con correct without tools. Be- fore you call for service, check this list.
If electricity goes off:
Learn how long power will be off by calling the power company.
l If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep freezer closed. Most food will stay frozen.
l If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours, do this:
1.Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker. Or...
2.Place dry ice on top of food, using as large pieces as possible. Protect your hands with gloves when using dry ice.
3.If neither food locker storage or dry ice is
available, use or con perishable food at once.
l The length oftime food will stay frozen depends on several factors. For instance: a full freezer will remain cold longer than a freezer only par- tially 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, although the quality and flavor may be affected. Use this food as soon as convenient. If the condition of the food
is poor or is in any way questionable, it is wise to dispose of it.
