1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance
problems
often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
if electricity
goes off:
Learn how long power will be off by calling
the
power company.
l
If service is to be interrupted
24 hours or less, keep
freezer closed. Most food will stay frozen.
l
If service is to be interrupted
longer than 24 hours,
do this:
1.
Remove all unfrozen food and store in a frozen
food locker
OR...
2. Place 2 Ibs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for every cu.
ft. of freezer space. This will keep frozen foods for 2
to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from
dry ice burns.
3. If neither food locker storage or dry ice is avail-
able, use or can perishable
food at once.
l
The length of time food will stay frozen depends
on
several factors. For instance: a full freezerwill
remain
cold longer than a freezer partially
filled. And a
freezer full of meat will stay cold
longer
than a
freezer filled with baked
goods. Also, if the food still
contains
ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, al-
though the quality and flavor may be affected.
Use
this food as soon as convenient.
If the condition
of
the food is poor or is in any way questionable,
it is
wise to dispose of it.
if freezer stops running:
l
Check fuse box or circuit breaker.
l
Check electric
company
