Power Interruptions

Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord from wall outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power cord to wall outlet. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled or thawed food in freezer and refrigerator. Clean refrigerator before reusing.

Vacation and Moving Care

For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator and freezer, move the temperature dial to the "0" position and clean the refrigerator and door gaskets according to "General Cleaning" section. Prop doors open, so air can circulate inside.When moving, always move the refrigerator vertically. Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible damage to the sealed system could occur.

Energy Saving Tips

The refrigerater should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.

Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer and thus increases energy consumption. Foods that refrigerate too slowly may lose quality or spoil.

Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing in the refrigerator.

The shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.

Organize 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.
