POWER FAILURE

When a power failure occurs, the refrigerator can normally store food for several
hours. Do not put additional food into the appliance during a power failure, and do
not open door. Disconnect the plug from the outlet, and reconnect when the
power has been restored. Always inspect for, and discard, any spoiled or
thawed food in the refrigerator or freezer before resuming use of the
appliance.

VACATION

Before leaving on any vacation, remove food that could spoil while you are gone. If
you plan to be gone for an extended period of time, we recommend that all of the
food should be removed from the appliance and it should be turned off and
unplugged from the outlet. Clean the interior according to the directions provided
in the Cleaning section of this manual, and leave the door open.
