Freezer Care
|
|
|
Locate in a cool, dry room for most
efficient
operation. The freezer mechanism will run better above 40
F. Leave room on both sides and back for heat to be given
off in air. Plug into a grounded outlet. Plug only into
its own circuit so an overload from another appliance
cannot shut it off. It should be leveled so the door
closes tightly; uprights may be tilted slightly from the
front so the door closes readily.
If freezer is in out-of-way location, check
frequently to be sure it's running. If on vacation, ask
neighbor to check to be sure it doesn't go off and food
spoil.
Never run frost-free freezers where temperature goes
below 60 F. Compressor will not run enough to keep food
from thawing and spoiling.
Defrost freezers about once a year, before frost is
1/2 inch thick on inside walls and clean. Use a plastic
or wooden scraper, not a sharp instrument.
