CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
If leaving appliance door open while on
vacation, make certain that children cannot
get into the unit and become entrapped.

NOTE
Do not open appliance door unnecessarily if
unit is o for several hours.
If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will
stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the unit is
kept closed. If the power failure continues,
pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the
appliance every 24 hours. Always wear gloves
and use caution when handling dry ice. To
locate dry ice suppliers search for “Dry Ice”,
“Dairies” or “Ice Cream Manufacturers”.
Vacation and Moving Tips
Short Vacations: Leave the unit operating
during vacations of less than 3 weeks.
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 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 to
prevent movement. Also protect outside of the
unit with a blanket, or similar item. Do not place
heavy items on the lid as this may damage or
deform the lid resulting in a bad seal.
