Discontinuing or Breaking in Usage

Handling Power Failure
Foods can be stored well after several hours of power failure, even during
the summer. You should call your electric company to ask how long the food
will last.
After a power failure, do not put new food into the fridge, and open
the door as infrequently as possible.
If you are aware that there will be a power failure ahead of time, make
cubed ice and put it in the upper part of the fresh food compartment.
If the temperature becomes warmer in the freezer due to a power failure or other malfunction, the
expiration date on frozen food may change, and food quality may decrease.
Discontinuing Usage
If you do not want to use the fridge for a long period of time, pull out the
plug. Cut off all power supply and water sources. Clean the fridge as
directed in this manual. Leave the fridge door open to prevent any odors
from accumulating.
Vacation
If you will be on vacation for a long time, cut off the power source and
water supply, and take out all food. Clean the interior of the fridge after
any frost melts. Wipe it clean to remove any food residue that could
cause odors. If the ambient temperature is below freezing, call qualified
service personnel to drain the water system. This prevents leakage and
keeps the pipes from bursting due to frozen water.
During Transport
Pull out the plug and cut off the power.
Remove all food.
Fix all moveable parts, such as fresh food shelves, the crisper, and
freezer shelves, with tape.
Close the fridge doors and fix with tape to prevent opening during
transportation.
During transportation, the maximum slant angle must not be over
45° (from vertical standing) to prevent damage to the cooling
system.
During transportation, do not hold the handle of the fridge. This
could cause property damage and is a threat to personal safety.
It is suggested that you should not lay the refrigerator flat at any
time. If you have to put it flat, refer to the notice on the package.
