POWER INTERRUPTIONS
If the electricity goes off, call the power company and ask how long it will be off.
1.If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and frozen.
2.If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:
a)Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
OR
b)Place 2 lbs of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for two to four days. While handling dry ice, wear gloves to protect your hands from frostbite.
OR
c)If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can perishable food at once.
WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION
If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you
are away, follow these steps to prepare your refrigerator before you leave.
1.Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2.Empty the ice bin.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave, follow these steps.
1.Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2.Depending on your model, set the thermostat control (refrigerator control) to OFF. See the Setting the Controls section.
3.Clean refrigerator, wipe it and dry well.
4.Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.
