nect power before defrosting.
You should defrost your freezer when the frost becomes
1/4 inch thick. Further accumulation will reduce operating
efficiency. How often you have to defrost depends on the
type amount of food you freeze, the temperature and
humidity and the number of times you open and close the
freezer, the period between defrosting can be extended by
scraping frost every so often with aplastic scraper.

Loading the Freezer
To prepare food for freezing, use only containe,rs and
wrapping materials made especially for freezers. For
fast efficient freezing DO NOT freeze more than three
pounds of UNFROZEN food per cubic foot capacity of
your freezer. For example, if the capacity of your
freezer is 10 cubic feet, do not freeze more than 30

24 hours:Keep freezer door closed and food will stay
frozen.

of the following:
- Take food to frozen food locker
,, Place dry ice in the freezer. First cover food
packages with newspaper or cardboard. Then
spread dry ice over this co{/ering. Be careful that
dry ice is not directly touching the food packages
as it could "bum" the food.
• If locker storage space is'not available, or you
cannot get dry ice, use perishable food immedi-
ately.
When Is It Safe To Refreeze Food?
tf food still contains ice-crystals, it may be safe to
refreeze it although its quality may suffer slightly.
Refrozen food "should be used as soon as possible.
If food is completely defrosted but still cold to touch
(lower than 40* F), use it immediately or cook food
and then freeze for future use. If there is any question
about whether food is good or not, dispose of it.
Vacation/Moving
If you shut the freezer off for a period of time (more
than 24 hours) or are moving the freezer:
Remove all food and unplug freezer.
Clean thoroughly per Cleaning t instructions above.
Prop door open so air can circulate to prevent odor
• and mold growth. CAUTION: To help prevent acci-
dents, do not allow small children to have access to
the freezer when its door is open.
•Before moving freezer take out all removable
shelves, baskets or bins and tape or lock door
shut to prevent accidental damage.
•Ship freezer in upright position. Do not lay freezer
down.

the loaded freezer.
-Level freezer at new location to insure eroper
door seal. -_
