•.Handling.Power.Failure
Foods.can.be.stored.well.after.several.hours.of.a.power.failure,.even.during.the.
summer...You.should.call.your.electric.company.to.ask.how.long.the.food.will.
last...After.a.power.failure,.do.not.put.new.food.into.the.fridge,.and.open.the.
door.as.infrequently.as.possible...If.you.are.aware.there.will.be.a.power.failure.
ahead.of.time,.make.ice.cubes.and.put.it.in.the.upper.part.of.the.fresh.food.
compartment.
Note:..If.the.temperature.becomes.warmer.in.the.freezer.due.to.a.power.failure.
or.other.malfunction,.the.expiration.date.on.frozen.food.may.change,.and.
food.quality.may.decrease.
•.Discontinuing.Use
If.you.do.not.want.to.use.the.fridge.for.a.long.period.of.time,.pull.out.the.power.
cord.plug...Cut.off.all.power.supply.and.water.sources...Clean.the.fridge.as.
directed.in.this.manual..Leave.the.fridge.door.open.to.prevent.any.odors.from.
accumulating.
Note:..Normally,.the.fridge.performs.best.when.it.is.left.on.to.run.continuously.
rather.than.unplugging.it.and.energizing.frequently.
•.Vacation
If.you.will.be.on.vacation.for.a.long.time,.cut.off.the.power.source.and.water.
supply,.and.take.out.all.food...Clean.the.interior.of.the.fridge.after.any.frost.
melts...Wipe.it.clean.to.remove.any.food.residue.that.could.cause.odors...If.the.
ambient.temperature.is.below.freezing,.call.qualified.service.personnel.to.drain.
the.water.system...This.prevents.leakage.and.keeps.the.pipes.from.bursting.due.
to.frozen.water.
•.During.Transport
Pull.out.the.power.cord.plug.and.cut.off.the.power...Remove.all.food...Fix.all.
moveable.parts.with.good.adhesive.tape,.such.as.fresh.food.and.freezer.shelves,.
and.crispers...Close.the.fridge.doors.and.drawers.and.fix.with.tape.to.prevent.
opening.during.transport...During.transport,.the.maximum.slant.angle.must.not.
be.over.45.degrees.(from.vertical.standing).to.prevent.damage.to.the.cooling.
system...During.transport,.do.not.hold.the.handle.of.the.fridge...This.could.cause.
property.damage.and.is.a.threat.to.personal.safety.
Note:..It.is.suggested.that.you.do.not.lay.the.refrigerator.flat.while.transporting...
This.could.cause.oil.to.drain.from.the.compressor...If.you.must.transport.
this.way.allow.the.fridge.to.stand.vertically.for.4-6.hours.so.oil.can.return.
into.the.compressor.before.turning.on.the.fridge.power.
