• 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.
