POWER FAILURE / FREEZER FAILURE

NOTE: Do not open freezer door
unnecessarily if freezer is off for
several hours.
If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for
at least 24 hours if the freezer is kept closed. If the power
failure continues, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into
the freezer every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under
Dry Ice , Dairies , or Ice Cream Manufacturers for local dry
ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use caution when
handling dry ice.
If the freezer has stopped operating, see Freezer Does
Not Run in the Troubleshooting Guide. If you cannot
solve the problem, call an authorized servicer immediately.
If the freezer remains off for several hours, follow the
directions above for the use of dry ice during a power
failure. If necessary, take the food to a local locker plant
until the freezer is ready to operate. Look in the Yellow
Pages under Frozen Food Locker Plants .
