Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or doors
closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:
■ Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
■ Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28
L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to 4 days.
■ If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can
perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A
freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods.
If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen, although
the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is
poor, dispose of it.
Vacation Care
Your refrigerator is equipped with the Rest Mode feature, which is
designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights and ice aker.
By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain unchanged,
the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights will turn off. For
most efficient refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit the Rest
Mode when it is no longer required.
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator on While You’re Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Press REST MODE pad.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off the water
supply to the ice maker.
4. Empty the ice bin.
5. When you return from vacation, press REST MODE to return to
normal operation.
If You Choose to Turn the Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of
time.
■ When the last load of ice drops, slide the ice maker control to the
OFF (down) position.
3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control (or
Refrigerator Control) to OFF. See “Using the Controls.”
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of all doors to prop them
open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from
building up.
