Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
icemaker 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 food.
Vacation Time
Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the icemaker 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 Icemaker
·
Remove all the food.
·
Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
·
Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
·
Tape the doors shut.
·
Be sure the unit stays in the upright position during transportation.
Energy Saving Tips
·
The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing icemakers
or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
·
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the unit. Overloading the unit
forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
·
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 freezer.
·
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.
