If you need service or help,
we suggest you follow
(Three steps: these
1. Before calling for service:
Performance problems ore sometimes caused
by little things you can correct without tools. Be­
fore you call for service, check this list.
If electricity goes eft:
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 frozen 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
available, use or can perishable food at
once.
• The length oftime food will stay frozen depends
on several factors. For instance: a full freezer
will remain cold longer than a freezer only par­
tially 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, although 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 fora power failure.
If compressor seems to run too long:
• Check fo see that condenser, located on back
of frecizer, is free of dust and lint.
• On hc:t summer days or if room is hof, compres­
sor wi I run longerto provide correct amount of
cooling.
• If large amounts of unfrozen food have been
put in'o the freezer, compressor will run longer.
• Chec< to see that there is enough air circula­
tion s|:)ace above and in back of freezer.
