Power Failure:

Vacation Time:
Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than
three weeks.
Long vacations: If the refrigerator will not be used for several months, remove all
contents 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.

2.
Securely tape down all loose items inside the unit.
3.
Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
