Extended Non-Use
For long vacations or absences, empty food from the freezer, move the temperature control dial to the OFF position and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Clean the freezer and door gaskets according to the Proper Care and Cleaning section. Prevent odors from forming by placing an open box of baking soda in the freezer and propping the door open to allow air to circulate inside.
Moving the Freezer
When transporting the freezer, it should be kept in an upright position. If the freezer is inadvertently tilted beyond 45 degrees or was laid down horizontally for any reason (e.g., shipping), the unit must not be operated for at least 24 hours. It must be placed in the upright position for 24 hours to allow the internal oil and refrigerant to stabilize in the system. Ignoring this precautionary measure may result in damage to the sealed system and compressor.
