PRECAUTIONS IN CASE OF “VACATION”
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
When you hear these noises
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:
1.
Turn it off.
2.
Shut off the water supply to the automatic ice maker.
3.
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:
1.
Turn it off.
2.
Shut off the water supply to the automatic ice maker at least a day before.
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 both compartments. This will prevent odour and mould
from setting in.
Moving
1.
Take out all internal parts.
2.
Wrap them well, and fix them together with adhesive tape so that they do not bang together or get lost.
3.
Screw the adjustable feet so that they do not touch the support surface.
4.
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.
1.
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.
2.
Empty the ice bucket.
..your appliance is alive !!!
