RECOMANDATION IN CASE OF NO

USE OF THE APPLIANCE

Short vacation

There is no need to disconnect the appliance from

the power supply if you will be away for less than

three weeks. Use up perishable food, freeze other

food.

If your appliance has an automatic ice maker:

Turn it off.

Shut off the water supply to the automatic ice

maker.

Empty the ice bucket.

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 it off.

Shut off the water supply to the automatic

icemaker at least a day before.

Empty the ice bucket.

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 both

compartments. This will prevent odour and mould

from setting in.

Moving

Take out all internal parts.

Wrap them well, and fix them together with

adhesive tape so that they do not bang together

or get lost.

Screw the adjustable feet so that they do not

touch the support surface.

Close and fix both doors with adhesive tape and,

again using adhesive tape, fix the power cable to

the appliance.

Power failure

In the event of a power failure, call the local office

of your electricity supply company and ask how

long it is going to last. Note: Bear in mind that a full

appliance will stay cold longer than a partially filled

one.

If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be

frozen again, although flavour and aroma may be

affected.

If food is found to be in a poor condition, it is best

to throw it away.

For power failures lasting up to 24 hours.

Keep both doors of the appliance closed. This

will allow the stored food to stay cold as long as

possible.

For power failures lasting more than 24 hours.

Empty the freezer compartment and arrange the

food in a portable freezer. If this 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.

Empty the ice bucket.
