4. Press o/l a/r from package Fold each end over twice. Make sure fold

IS tight and fasten against end of package with freezer tape.

NOTE: When packaging meats that have not been boned, pod sharp edges with extra wrap or use stockinette to protect agarnst tearing or puncturrng.

Loading...

2. Add more unfrozen food after first load IS frozen [approximately 18 to 24 hours)

Storing frozen food...

After food IS frozen, stack packages anywhere in the freezer. Packages should not extend be- yond the shelf edge or they may keep the door from closing and sealing properly

Trivet ~ Store heavy and bulky packages here.

If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these five steps:

l

1.

Before calling for assistance... 2. If you need assistance%.

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind. l l

If the electrlclty goes off:

Learn how long the power WIII be off by calling the power company.

If sewice is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep the freezer closed. Most food WIII stay frozen.

If servtce is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours, do this.

Call Whlrlpool COOL-LINE@ service as- slstance telephone number. Dial free from any- where In the U.S.: l-800-253-1301 and talk with one of our trained Consultants. The Con- sultant can instruct you in how to obtain satisfactory operation from your appliance or, if service is neces- sary, recommend a qualified service company in your area.

1. Remove all unfrozen food and store in a frozen food locker OR...

2. Place 2 Ibs. (0.9 kg] of dry ice in freezer for every cu. ft. of freezer space. This will keep frozen foods for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns.

3. If neither food locker storage or dry ice is avail- able, use or can perishable food at once.

The length of trme food will stay frozen depends on several factors For instance. a full freezerwill remain cold longer than a freezer partially filled. And a freezer full of meat will stay cold longer than a freezer filled with baked goods. Also, if the food still contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, al- though the quality and flavor may be affected. Use this food as soon as convenient. If the condition of the food is poor or is in any way questionable, it is wise to dtspose of it l l

If your freezer stops running:

Is the power supply cord plugged into a live crrcuit with the proper voltage? (See page 4.)

Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box? l l l l

If the compressor seems to run too long:

Is the condenser, located on the back of the freezer, free of dust and lint?

Is there enough air circulation space above and In back of the freezer?

On hot summer days or if the room is hot, the com- pressor will run longer to provide the correct amount of cooling

If large amounts of unfrozen food have been put

Into the freezer, the compressor will run longer.
