CARE AND CLEANING POWER/FREEZER FAILURE  NOTE DO NOT open appliance door unnecessarily if unit is off for several hours. Vacation and Moving Tips Short Vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks. If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the appliance is kept closed. If the power failure continues, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the unit 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. Long Vacations: If the appliance 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 appliance 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 unit. 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 the appliance in an upright position, and secure to prevent movement. Also protect outside of the unit with a blanket, or similar item. If the appliance has stopped operating, see the "Freezer does not run" section in the Avoid Service Checklist section of this use and care guide. If you cannot solve the problem, call an authorized service personnel immediately. If the unit remains off for several hours, follow the directions above for the use of dry ice during a power failure.
