GENERAL INFORMATION

VACATION TIME
During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.
Place freezable items in freezer for longer life. When you plan to be away for an extended period,
remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door
OPEN to prevent odor formation.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
During power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator.To avoid damaging the
leveling screws, turn them all the way into the base.
ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm,
especially just after installation. Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anti-
condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerant to prevent "sweating" on the
outer cabinet wall.
