If the appliance is not going to be used
For short vacations
• The refrigerator does not have to be disconnected from the power supply if you will be away for less
than three weeks. Use up perishable food and freeze other food.
• If the appliance has an automatic ice-maker:
1. Switch off the automatic ice-maker.
2. Shut off the water supply to the automatic ice-maker.
3. Empty the bucket.
For long vacations
• Remove all the food if you are going away for more than three weeks.
• If the appliance has an automatic ice-maker:
1. Switch off the automatic ice-maker.
2. Shut off the water supply to the automatic ice-maker.
3. Empty the ice bucket.
4. Fix some wooden or plastic wedges to the upper part of both doors with adhesive tape and leave
the doors open enough for air to circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of
mould and bad odours.
Moving
1. Remove all the inside parts.
2. Carefully wrap and fix them together with adhesive tape so that they do not knock against each other
or become lost.
3. Screw the adjustable feet so that they do not touch the support surface.
4. Using adhesive tape, close and seal both doors and fix the power cable to the appliance.
Power failures
• In case of a power failure, call the local office of the electricity company to find out how long it is going
to last.
Note: A completely full appliance will stay cold longer than one that is not.
If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be frozen again, although the flavour and aroma may be
affected.
If the food is in poor condition, it is advisable to throw it away.
In case of power failures of up to 24 hours
1. Keep the doors of the appliance closed. In this way the stored food will stay cold as long as possible.
In case of power failures lasting more than 24 hours
1. Empty the freezer compartment and put the food in a portable freezer.
If this type of freezer is not available or no artificial ice packs are available, try to use up the most
perishable food first.
2. Empty the ice bucket.
