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

1. Remove all frozen food.
2. Unplug the freezer.
3. Clean it thoroughly.
4. Tape the freezer shut and tape the electrical cord to the
cabinet.
When you get to your new home, refer to the "Installation

installation and setting the controls.
