VACATION
1
Short vacation
There is no need to disconnect
the refrigerator
from the power
supply if you will be away for
less than three weeks.
Use up perishable

freeze other food.
If your appliance
has an
automatic

1.
Turn it off.

supply to the ice maker
3. Empty the Ice bin.
long vacation
Remove all the food if you are going away for
three weeks or more. If your appliance
has an
automatic
ice maker, turn off the water
supply
to the ice maker at least a day before
When the last batch of Ice cubes drops, turn off
the Ice maker
Unplug
the refrigerator
and clean It, rinse, and
dry.
FIX
some wooden
or plastrc wedges
to the
upper part of both doors with adhesive
tape
and leave the doors open enough
for air to
circulate
Inside both compartments.
This
WIII
prevent
odour
and mould from setting
in.
Moving
l
Take out all removable
parts, wrap them
well, and fix them together
with adhesive
tape so that they
will
not come loose or
shake.
l
Trghten
the front
levellrng
screws.
l
Close and frx both doors with adhesive
tape
and, again using adhesive
tape, frx the power
cable to the appliance.
Power failure
ln case of power
failure,
call the local office
of
your Electrrcrty Company
and ask how long It
IS
going to last.
1.
Should the power
failure
last 24 hours or
less, keep both doors of the appliance
closed.
This will allow the stored food to
stay cold as long as possible.
2. Should the power
failure
last more than 24
hours, remove
all frozen
food and put It in a
freezer
wrth a key lock
If thus type of freezer
IS
not available
and, likewise,
no artificial
Ice
packs are available,
try to use up the food
which
IS
more easily perishable
3. Bear in mind that a full freezer
compart-
ment will stay cold longer than a partrally
filled one.
Furthermore,
a freezer
full of frozen
me&
WIII
stay cold longer than a freezer
filled with
pre-cooked
food.
If the food still shows ice crystals,
It
IS
possrble to refreeze
it without
running
any
risk; however,
it will probably
change
taste
and flavour.
If the condition
of the food
IS
definitely
poor and you feel like you would
be running
a risk by refreezing
It, you must
throw
It away.
