Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a
longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your frozen and chilled items.
Vacations
During long absences, remove all contents. Unplug the appliance, clean it, and leave the doors open
slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
Moving Your Appliance

2. Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
