VACATION AND MOVING
CARE
• When going on extended vacation,
it is best that you empty all the
food from your freezer. Set the
temperature dial to "0" and unplug
the freezer. Clean the unit as per
"Cleaning Method" and leave the
door open to remove any odors.
When travelling or moving the freezer,
always transport the unit vertically.
Moving the unit on its sides may damage
the freezer and/or its compressor.
WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR
THE FREEZER YOURSELF.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The freezer should be located in the
coolest area of the room, away from
heat-producing appliances or heating
ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room
temperature before placing in the
freezer. Overloading the freezer
forces the compressor to run
longer and thus increase energy
consumption. Foods that refrigerate
too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and
wipe containers dry before placing in
the freezer.
• The shelves should not be lined with
aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper
towels. This will interfere with cold air
circulation, making the freezer less
efficient.
• Organize 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.
