If you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow these five steps:

Performance problems often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
It 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 2 lbs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for every cu.
ft. of freezer space. This will keep frozen foods for 2
to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from
dry ice burns.
3. If neither food locker storage or dry ice is avail­
able, use or can perishable food at once.
