Whirlpool EV190F - Manual (Page 11)

If you need serviee or assistance, >ie suggest
you follow these four steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
If electricity goes off:
Learn how long power will be off by calling the
power company
• If 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 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 avail­
able, use or can perishable food at once.
• The length of time food will stay frozen depends on
several factors. For instance: a full freezer will remain
cold longer than a freezer partially 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, al­
though 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.
If freezer stops running:
• Check to see if power cord is plugged into the
outlet,
• Check fuse box or circuit breaker,
• Check electric company for a power failure,
• Be sure Temperafure Control is turned ON,
If compressor seems to run too long:
• Check to see that condenser, located on back of
freezer, is free of dust and lint.
• On hot summer days or if room is hot, compressor will
run longer to provide the correct amount of cooling,
• If large amounts of unfrozen food have been put
into the freezer, compressor will run longer.
• Check to see that there is enough air oirculation
space above and in back of the freezer.
