Power Outage Issues?
I have been told that the model 2871 upright freezer must be manually restarted if it is subjected to a power outage of 30 secs. or less. Since I live in an area where such outages are common, I have concerns about how the appliance will behave under these conditions. Especially if no one is home at the time! Will I lose all food?
