Vacation and Hoving Tips
Short Vacations: Leave the appliance operating

Long Vacations: [f the unit will not be used

blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and
mold growth.

wall outlet. Remove food, defrost, and then clean
the appliance. Secure all loose items such as base
panel, baskets, and shelves by taping them securely
in place to prevent damage, in the moving vehicle,
secure the unit in an upright position, and secure to
prevent movement. Also protect outside of unit with
a blanket, or similar item.

or eight pounds of dry ice into the unit every 24
hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Dry Ice,"
"Dairies," or "ice Cream Manufacturers" for local
dry ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use
caution when handling dry ice.

see "Appliance does not run" in the BEFORE

[f the appliance remains off for several
