VACATION

For short vacations

If you are going to be away for less than three weeks, there is no need to disconnect the appliance from

the power supply. Use up perishable food and freeze other food.

For long vacations

If you are going away for more than three weeks, remove all food, unplug the appliance, clean it, then

rinse and dry it.

Fix some wooden or plastic wedges to the upper part of both doors with adhesive tape and leave the

doors slightly ajar for air to circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of mould

and unpleasant odours.

Moving

• Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and fix them together with adhesive tape so that they

do not bang together or get lost.

• Using adhesive tape, close and seal both doors and fix the power cable to the appliance.

Power failures

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.

1. For power failures lasting up to 24 hours, keep both doors of the appliance closed. In this way the

stored food will 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 portable

freezer with a key lock. If this type of freezer is not available and no artificial ice packs are available, try

to use up the most perishable food first.

3. Bear in mind that a full freezer compartment will stay cold longer than a partially filled one.

4. Empty the ice bucket.

Furthermore, a freezer full of frozen meat will stay cold longer than a freezer filled with pre-cooked

food.

If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be frozen again, although the flavour and aroma may

be affected. If the food is in poor condition, it is advisable to discard it.
