PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
In the event of a power interruption, unplug your
refrigerator from the power source. Avoid opening
the doors until after power has been restored.
Your refrigerator will maintain a cold temperature
for longer if door opening is avoided or kept to a
minimum.
Once power has been restored, plug your
refrigerator back into the power source and
inspect food in the refrigerator for spoilage
or thawing. Cleaning your refrigerator after a
prolonged power outage is strongly recommended
to avoid odors and potential health hazards due to
thawing.
VACATION
For long vacations or absences, unplug your
refrigerator and remove all food from it. Turn
the temperature control knob in the refrigerator
section to the OFF position and clean the
refrigerator, including the gaskets, according to
the Proper Care and Maintenance section. Leave
the doors propped open to allow air to circulate
inside the refrigerator.
MOVING
Before moving your refrigerator, empty the
food from it and use adhesive tape to secure all
loose items such as shelves, door bins and racks,
crispers and pans, etc. and unplug it. Always move
the refrigerator in an upright position in order to
avoid damaging the sealed refrigerant system.
