Vacation Time:
Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three
weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all
food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To
prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if
necessary.
Moving Your Unit:
1.
Remove all the food.
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 unit stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
Also, protect the outside of the unit with a blanket or similar covering.
Energy-Saving Tips:
The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-
producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading
the unit forces the compressor to run longer.
Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in
the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
The unit's storage area should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or
paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less
efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.
Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as
possible.
