When Electricity; Fails / Vacationing - Hitachi 26SVH Use And Care Instructions Manual

WHEN ELECTRICITY FAILS / VACATIONING
THESE ARE NOT DEFECTIVE
• When the refrigerating unit stops, the flow of the
refrigerant may make a sound. This is the sound
of the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerating unit.
• The mullion bar between the vegetable compart-
ment and the freezer compartment is warmed by
hot gas pipe. It will sometimes feel warm. But do
not worry about stored food.
• Electronic parts which has moving contact point
are installed this refrigerator. So you will some-
times hear their sound.
CAUTION
• Refrigerator has heaters for defrosting etc. and so,
should the defrost thermostat have a trouble, the
inside temperature. At that time, unplug the refrig-
erator before contacting Hitachi Service Centres.
WHEN ELECTRICITY FAILS
• Do not open the door if possible. Food may be
preserved safely for a few hours even in summer.
WHEN YOU KNOW THERE WILL BE A POWER
FAILURE
• Cool the refrigerator as much as possible by setting
the dial to "MAX" position.
• Do not stock any new food in the refrigerator.
• Make a lot of ice cubes and put them on the upper
shelf in "FRESH FOOD COMPARTMENT".
VACATIONS
• If you leave the power on, remove perishables and
make sure doors are completely closed.
• If you shut off the house power for extended
vacations, remove food, defrost and clean interior.
Wipe dry and leave the door open slightly to
prevent formation of odor.
• Oiling is not necessary.
WHEN YOU DISCARD A REFRIGERATOR...
COMPLETELY REMOVE THE DOORS TO PRE-
VENT CHILD ENTRAPMENT. It takes only a moment
with a screwdriver. Do this immediately and have the
old unit carted away and destroyed before it attracts
a child's curiosity... and endangers his life. When you
want to store a refrigerator that will be use again... (1)
remove the doors: or (2) use rubber bumpers or
wooden blocks to prevent door form closing
completely; or (3) chain and padlock tape door closed.
