POWER iNTERRUPTiONS
1.In case of a black out, call your electric company and ask how long it will last.
2.In case of a 24 hour or less black out, do not open the refrigerator; this will keep the food fresh.
3.In case of a longer black out, do one of the following
options:
•Pull out all of the frozen food and keep them in an ice chest.
•Put 2 Ibs (907 g) of frozen ice (make sure you use gloves) for each square foot (28 L) inside the freezer. This task will preserve the food fro 2 to 4 days.
•In case you do not possess neither ice chest or dry ice, consume your food as soon as possible.
REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor or if you feel it unsafe, dispose of it.
WHEN GOING ON VACATION
If you decide to leave your refrigerator on when going away, consider these steps:
1.Consume all of the perishable items and freeze the rest.
2.Empty the ice bin.
If you decide to leave your refrigerator off:
1.Remove all of the food. 2.Unplug your refrigerator. 3.Clean and dry it well.
4.Make sure the doors stay open (use blocks or tape) in order to prevent bad odors and fungi from happening.
WHEN MOVING
If you decide to take your refrigerator with you when moving, consider the following:
1.Remove all of the food from it, and place the frozen food in an ice chest with dry ice.
2.Unplug your refrigerator.
3.Empty the water from its tray. 4.Clean and dry it with a rag.
5.Pull out all of the removable parts, and wrap them with adhesive tape.
6.Depending on the model of the refrigerator, lift the top part of the refrigerator so it can roll with ease, or screw the levelers so it won't scratch the floor. Consult to the section "Closing and Aligning Doors':
7.Keep the doors closed with the cable glued to the refrigerator cabinet with an adhesive tape.
