• Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms
or other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a
power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power
cord to AC outlet. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and
discard spoiled or thawed food in freezer. Clean freezer before
reusing.
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from freezer, move the
temperature DIAL to the OFF position and clean the door gaskets
according to “General cleaning” section. Prop doors open, so air can
circulate inside. When moving always move the freezer
vertically. Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible damage to
the sealed system could occur.
