POWER INTERRUPTIONS

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 lbs (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.

VACATION CARE

IF YOU CHOOSE TO TURN THE REFRIGERATOR
OFF BEFORE YOU LEAVE:
1.
Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2.
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker:
Turn off the water supply to the ice
maker at least one day ahead of time.
When the last load of ice drops, raise
the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up)
position.
3.
Depending on your model, turn the
Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator Control)
to OFF. See "Using the Controls."
4.
Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5.
Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of
both doors to prop them open far enough
for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
