tion around front grilleis not blocked.
2. Check door seals occsionally for leak-
age. Check at various places, top, bot-
tom, sides.
3. Check the temperature, avoid unneces-
sary cold settings.
4. Keep freezer full to nearcapacity, less

openings. If power failure is of long
duration, protect frozen food by placing
blocks of dry ice on top of the packages,
or check with a local frozen foods locker

grounding receptacle to provide protec-
tion from electrical shock.
3. Unplug refrigerator before cleaning con-
denser or replacing light bulb.
4. Remove the doors from out-of-use re-
frigerator. Prevent a child from becom-
ing accidentally trapped and suf-
focating.
