WARNING
c)
If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available,
consume or dispose of food at once.
REMEMBER:
In a power failure, a full freezer
stays cold longer than a partially filled one. If you see
that food contains ice crystals, it may be affected. If
the condition of the food is poor, or if you feel it is
unsafe, dispose of it.
• DO NOT
refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely.
The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and
Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if
they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below
4 °C.
...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any
off-odor or off-color should not be frozen and should not be
eaten.
Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color
of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food
may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating
quality of foods, particulary fruits, vegetables and prepared
foods.
The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of
many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible
to save as much of their quality as you can.
If you choose to leave the refrigerator ON while you
are away,
follow these steps to prepare your refrigerator
before you leave.
1.
Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2.
Empty the ice bin.
3.
Turn
OFF
the Icemaker.
NOTE:
If the ambient
temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualied
service technician drain the water supply system (on
some models) to prevent serious property damage
due to possible flooding from ruptured water lines or
connections.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator OFF before you
leave,
follow these steps.
1.
Remove all food from the refrigerator and empty ice
bin.
2.
Unplug refrigerator.
3.
Clean refrigerator, wipe, and dry well.
4.
Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors
to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This
stops odor and mold from building up.

LAMP REPLACEMENT
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
1.
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep all
refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and
frozen.
2.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:
a)
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen
food locker.
OR
b)
Place 2 lbs. (1 kg) of dry ice in the freezer for
every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will
keep the food frozen for two to four days. While
handling dry ice, wear gloves to protect your hands
from frostbite.
