Power Interruptions; Vacation Care - KitchenAid KBFN502ESS Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

5. Clean the exterior surfaces.
Stainless steel panels: Wash stainless steel with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new
and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel
Cleaner and Polish.
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for Stainless Steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,
dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact
does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild
detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To
order the cleaner, see "Accessories."
6. Press the power switch to ON.
7. Replace the top grille. See "Power On/Off Switch."
The lights in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments are
LEDs which do not need to be replaced. If the lights do not
illuminate when the door or drawer is opened, call for assistance
or service. In the U.S.A., call 1-800-422-1230. In Canada call
1-800-807-6777.

Power Interruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or
doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold
and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot
(28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to
4 days.
If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can
perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

Vacation Care

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Sabbath mode feature,
which is designed for the traveler or for those whose religious
observances require turning off the lights and ice maker. By
selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain
unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights
will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it is
recommended to exit Sabbath mode when it is no longer required.
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You're
Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Press the SABBATH touch pad.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off the
water supply to the ice maker.
4. Empty the ice bin.
5. When you return from vacation, press the SABBATH touch
pad to return to normal operation.
If You Choose to Turn the Refrigerator Off Before You
Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
When the last load of ice drops, lift the ice maker control
to the OFF (arm up) position.
3. Under the Fridge or Freezer menu, press and hold COOLING
OFF for 3 seconds to turn off cooling.
NOTE: To turn off the power completely, use the power ON/
OFF switch located behind the top grille. See "Power On/Off
Switch."
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of all doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.
