Power Interruptions

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

If a food locker is not available, consume or can perishable food at once.

After the power is restored, unplug the freezer for 30 minutes, to allow the refrigeration system to equalize. During this time keep the door closed whenever possible.

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.

Moving Care

When you are moving your freezer to a new home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1.Remove all frozen food.

2.Unplug the freezer.

3.Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.

4.Clean the freezer thoroughly.

5.Tape the freezer shut and tape the electrical cord to the cabinet.

When you get to your new home, refer to the “Installation Instructions” and “Freezer Use” sections for information on installation and setting the controls.
