Caring For Your Refrigerator

Holiday and moving care

Short holidays

No need to shut off the refrigerator if you will be

away for less than four weeks. Use up perish-

ables; freeze other items.

Long holidays

Remove all the food if you are going for a month

or more.

Unplug the refrigerator and clean it

rinse

well and dry. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the

tops of both doors

. keeping them open far

enough for air to get in. This will keep odor and

mold from building up.

Personal Injury Hazard

Do not allow children to climb on, play

near or climb inside the refrigerator when

the doors are blocked open. They may

become injured or trapped.

To restart refrigerator, see "Using Your Refrigera-

tor" on page 5.

Moving

Remove all food. Pack frozen food in dry ice.

Unplug the refrigerator and clean it thoroughly.

Take out all removable parts. Wrap all parts

well and tape them together so they don't shift

and rattle. Screw in the leveling rollers; tape the

doors shut; and tape the electric cord to the

cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put every-

thing back and refer to page 4.

Power interruptions

If electricity goes off, call the power company. Ask

how long power will be off.

If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less,

keep both doors closed.

This will help foods

stay frozen.

2. If service is to be interrupted longer than

24 hours:

(a) Remove all frozen food and store in a

frozen food locker.

(b) Place 0.9 kg (2 Ibs.) of dry ice in freezer for

every cubic foot of freezer space. This will

keep food frozen for 2 to 4 days. Wear

gloves to protect your hands from dry ice

burns.

able, use or can perishable food at once.

3. A full freezer will stay cold longer than a partly

filled one. A freezer full of meat will stay cold

longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If

food contains ice crystals, it may be safely

refrozen, although the quality and flavor may

be affected. If the condition of the food is poor

or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.
