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 mediately. 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".
