Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. SOME of
these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your freezer.
Door Gaskets:
•
Clean door gaskets every three months according to general
instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to assure a
proper seal.
•
Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep
the gasket pliable and assure a good seal.
Power Interruptions
•
Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms
or other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a
power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power
cord to AC outlet. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and
discard spoiled or thawed food in freezer. Clean freezer before
reusing.
Vacation and Moving Care
•
For long vacations or absences,empty food from freezer,unplug the
unit and clean the door gaskets according to "General cleaning"
section. Prop doors open, so air can circulate inside. When moving
always move the freezer vertically. Do not move with the unit lying
down. Possible damage to the sealed system could occur.
WARNING: IF OUTAGE IS FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD,
INSPECT AND DISCARD SPOILED OR THAWED FOOD IN
FREEZER. CLEAN FREEZER BEFORE REUSING.
