Handling power failure
Food can be stored well after several hours of power failure even if it is in
summer. You should inquire how long it will last by calling your electric
company.
After power fail, do not add food to the refrigerator, open door as little as
possible.
If failure of more than 24 hours is noticed beforehand, make some extra
ice cubes and hold them in a waterproof container. Place the container to
the top shelf of the refrigerator compartment.
NOTE
Temperature raise in the freezer because of power failure or other malfunction may shorten the valid date
and decrease food quality.
Stopping usage:
If you need to stop the refrigerator for a long time, pull out the plug, cut off
power and water supply, clean the refrigerator as per previous descriptions,
then, leave all doors and drawers open to prevent odor from building up inside.
NOTE

If on vacation for a long time, unplug the refrigerator and take out food. Clean
the interior after frost melts, open all doors and drawers and wipe the
refrigerator dry to prevent odor that may be produced by food residue. If the
ambient temperature is below freezing point, have a qualified service
personnel drain the water line to prevent leakage due to burst of piping or
joints, which may cause serious property loss.
