Care & Cleaning

NOTE

If unit is turned o or unplugged for several

hours, do not open freezer lid unnecessarily

to assure the coldest temperature inside

is maintained and that recovery time to

desired temperature is minimal.

Cleaning the Outside

Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild

liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry

with a clean soft cloth.

Vacation and Moving Tips

Short Vacations: Leave the freezer operating

during vacations of less than three weeks.

Long Vacations: If the freezer will not be

used for several months:

• Remove all food and unplug the

power cord.

• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.

• Leave the freezer lid open slightly,

blocking it open if necessary, to prevent

odor and mold growth.

Moving: When moving the freezer, follow

these guidelines to prevent damage:

• Disconnect the power cord plug from the

wall outlet.

• Remove foods, then defrost, and clean

the freezer.

• Secure all loose items such as base panel,

baskets, and shelves by taping them

securely in place to prevent damage.

• In the moving vehicle, secure freezer in an

upright position to prevent movement. Also

protect outside of freezer with a blanket,

or similar item.

WARNING

If leaving the freezer lid open while on

vacation, make certain that children cannot

get into the freezer and become entrapped.

Power Failure/

Freezer Failure

If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will

stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the freezer

is kept closed. If the power failure continues,

pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into

the freezer every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow

Pages under Dry Ice, Dairies, or Ice Cream

manufacturers for local dry ice suppliers.

Always wear gloves and use caution when

handling dry ice.

If the freezer has stopped operating,

see “FREEZER DOES NOT RUN” in the

Troubleshooting Guide. If you cannot solve

the problem, call an authorized servicer

immediately. If the freezer remains o for

several hours, follow the directions above for

the use of dry ice during a power failure. If

necessary, take the food to a local locker

plant until the freezer is ready to operate.

Look in the Yellow Pages under “Frozen Food

Locker Plants”.
