CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Appliance

Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of
your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be
off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
Vacation Time
During long absences, remove all the food; unplug your appliance, clean your appliance, and
leave the door slightly open to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
Moving Your Appliance
• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your appliance.
• Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the doors shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays in the upright position during transportation.
Energy Saving Tips
• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the
appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or
spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance.
This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many
items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
