POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are correcte 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 the contents.
VACATION TIME
Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than
three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove
all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door slightly opened, blocking it
if necessary.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

- Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
- Tape the door shut.
- Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room or outdoor
location, away from heat producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents. Do not
keep the door open any longer than necessary. Let hot foods cool to room temp
before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run
longer. Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing
them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build up
inside the unit. Unit shelves and storage bins should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the unit less efficient. Organize and label stored items
to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as any items as needed
at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
