VACATION

Short vacation

There is no need to disconnect the refrigerator from the power

supply if you will be away for less than three weeks. Use up

perishable food, freeze other food.

Long vacation

Remove all the food if you are going away for three weeks or

more. Unplug the refrigerator and clean it, rinse and dry. 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 removable parts, wrap them well, and fix them

together with adhesive tape so that they do not bang together

or get lost.

• Tighten the front levelling screws.

• 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 Company and ask how long it is going to last.

1.In the event of a power cut for maximum 24 hours, both

doors of the appliance must be kept closed. This will

allow the stored food to 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, likewise, no artificial

ice packs are available, try to use up the food which is more

easily perishable.

3.Bear in mind that a full freezer compartment will stay cold

longer than a partially filled one.

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

without running any risk, although flavour and aroma are likely

to be affected. If the condition of the food has deteriorated to

the point that refreezing it may be it risky, throw it away.
