BREAKDOWN
The hold-over period mentioned in the "Technical
Specification" section of this book refers to an estimated
time the freezer temperature will take to rise to an
unacceptable level for keeping frozen foods.
Providing the period of power failure or breakdown does not
exceed the hold-over period there will be no risk of damage
to the frozen food, providing you do not open the lid during
this period.
If the freezer is only half full or the lid is opened this will
reduce the hold-over time.
After the breakdown period you are recommended to
check the condition of food to ensure it has not started to
thaw. Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has
thawed out. The following guidelines should assist you.
