Vacation and Moving Tips

Short Vacations: Leave the freezer operating
during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long Vacations: If the freezer will not be
used for several months, remove all food and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold
growth, leave the freezer door open slightly,
blocking it open if necessary.
Moving: Disconnect the power cord plug
from the wall outlet. Remove food, defrost,
and then clean the freezer. Secure all loose
items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves
by taping them securely in place to prevent
damage. In the moving vehicle, secure freezer
in an upright position, and secure to prevent
movement. Also protect outside of freezer with
a blanket, or similar item.
POWER/FREEZER FAILURE
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 Before You Call Section
of this manual. 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."
