POWER FAILURE
If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for
at least 24 hours
if the freezer is kept
closed. This will help food to stay frozen.
If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours
remove all frozen food and find an alternate solution.
MOVING YOUR FREEZER
Remove all the food.
Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer.
Remove the rollers to prevent damage.
Tape the doors shut.
Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer
forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer.
This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
Freezer storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towelling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many
items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
