• Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms
or other causes. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet when a
power outage occurs. When power has been restored, re-plug the
power cord back into the AC outlet. If the outage is for a prolonged
period, inspect and discard spoiled or thawed food in the freezer.
Clean the freezer before reusing.
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from the freezer and turn
the temperature control knob to the OFF position. Unplug the freezer.
Clean the interior and exterior, including the door gaskets, according
to the General Cleaning instructions above. Prop the doors open so
that air can circulate inside, and to avoid the possible formation of
condensation, mold and odors.
• When moving, remove all food from the freezer; turn the temperature
control knob to the OFF position. Unplug the freezer. Securely tape
down all loose items inside your freezer and tape the doors shut. Be
sure to move the freezer in the upright position. Do not move with the
unit lying down. Possible damage to the sealed system could occur.
• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away
from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of
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 buildup inside
the freezer.
• The freezer basket should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper,
or paper towels. 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.
