Electrical
a nd Mechanical Failure
In case of a failure, it is recommended to keep the freezer
well covered with blankets. This will help to preserve the
"cold" on the inside of the foodliner. Be sure to remove
the blankets when the power is restored. If no help is
available within 12 hours then the freezer contents should
be transferred into a neighbor's freezer or commercial
freezer-lockers.
In the event of mechanical or electrical failure of the freezer,
contact your nearest Sears' Service Center immediately.
Provide the complete information for your freezer: model
number and serial number. These are shown on the serial
plate located inside the freezer. Before calling for service
please consult the troubleshooting instructions on the
following page.
Warning: Risk of Child Entrapment
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside a freezer or refrigerator.
If you are storing a refrigerator or freezer:
1. Block the door open: Glue thick wooden blocks to the door so it can't close.
Be sure to use strong glue and place the blocks high, out of children's reach. Leave only
enough room to allow ventilation to keep appliance from collecting mildew.
2. Band, tape or secure the door shut: Use strong tape and wrap it all
the way around the appliance several times or pass a heavy duty chain
around the appliance and through the handle(s) and then padlock it
ensuring it cannot slide loose.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
1. Take off the lid or door: The hinge of chest type freezers are under spring tension.
Instructions for removal of the hinges are found on the back of the freezer.
2. Cut off any electrical wires: Ordinary household tools are all you need.
3. Leave the shelves in place: so that children my not easily climb inside.

Talk to your children about the dangers of playing around or inside any container that might shut them in.
WHY
all these precautions?
Each year children die because they climb inside an old refrigerator or freezer the door closes and they are
trapped inside and suffocate.., usually in less than 10 minutes!
Please take a few minutes and prevent such a needless tragedy.
If you are selling your old appliance or giving it away, put this manual inside so the new owners will know
what to do when they discard or store the unit.
