Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect
your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number
of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer
duration, take steps to protect your food by placing dry ice on top of
packages.
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the unit. To avoid
damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way into the base.
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at its normal setting.
During longer absences:
(a)
remove all foods.
(b)
disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.
(c)
clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including drip tray (defrost pan),
located on the bottom of the unit.
(d)
leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mold or
odors.
Some Important Rules for the Correct Use of the Refrigerator
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
• Never place spoiled foods in the unit.
• Don’t overload the unit.
• Don’t open the door unless necessary.
• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods, it is
suggested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow the
air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid the possibility of
condensation, mold or odors.
