∙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 contents.

∙ Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance. ∙ Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
∙ Tape the door shut.
∙ Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
∙Do not place the unit next to a heat source (heating vent, range, fireplace, direct sunlight, etc).
∙Keep the door closed as much as possible, especially in hot, humid weather.
∙Cover foods to reduce moisture
