Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a
longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your frozen and chilled items.

Vacation Time

During long absences, remove all contents. Unplug the appliance, clean it and leave the doors open
slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.

Moving Your Appliance

1. Remove the contents.
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 appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.

Energy-Saving Tips

• Locate the unit in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating
ducts and out of direct sunlight.
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is damp and hot. Once you
open the door, close it as soon as possible.
• Occasionally check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the
appliance).
• Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on how loaded
the appliance is, ambient temperature, etc.).
• Before loading items into the unit, be sure they have cooled to ambient temperature.
• A layer of frost and ice increases energy consumption, so defrost the freezer as soon as the
layer is 1/2" thick.
