Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not
affect the temperature of your freezer if you minimize the number of
times the doors are opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer
period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents.
Vacation Time
•
Short vacations:
Leave freezer operating during vacations of less
than three weeks.
•
Long vacations:
If the freezer will not be used for several months,
remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior
thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the doors open
slightly.
Moving Your Appliance
1. Remove all food items from the freezer.
2. Securely tape down the baskets and any other loose items inside the
freezer.
3. Tape the doors shut.
4. Keep the freezer in its upright position during transportation. Also,
protect the outside with a blanket or similar covering.
Power Cord
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid an
electrical hazard.
