Preparing for Vacation

To maintain freezer in operation during

vacations, be sure your house power is not

turned off. For sure protection of freezer

contents, you may want to ask a neighbor to

check the power supply and freezer

operation every 48 hours.
For extended vacations or absences, you

may prefer to move your frozen foods to a

storage locker temporarily. If your freezer is

to be left empty, disconnect power cord

plug from wall outlet. To prevent formation

of odors, place open box of baking soda in

freezer and leave freezer door/lid open.

When the freezer is not operating, it can be

left in an unheated house or room without

damage to cabinet or mechanism.

Preparing to Move

Disconnect the power cord plug from the

wall outlet. Remove foods, defrost (on

Manual Defrost models) and clean the

freezer.
Secure all loose items such as grille and

shelves by taping them securely in place to

prevent damage.

Be sure freezer stays in upright position

during actual moving and in van. The

freezer must be secured in van to prevent

movement. Protect outside of freezer with

blanket.

In Case of Extended Power Failure

Keep freezer door/lid closed. Your

freezer will keep food frozen for 24 hours

provided warm air is not admitted.

If freezer is out of operation for 24 hours

or more, add dry ice. Leave ice in large

pieces. Add more ice as required.

WARNING: 

Handling of dry ice can cause

freezing of the hands—gloves or other protection
is recommended.

If dry ice is not available, move food to a

frozen food locker temporarily—until

power is restored.
