CARE AND CLEANING
VACATION CARE
1. Remove all food from the
refrigerator/freezer.
2. Empty the ice bin.
3. Turn the power switch to Off.
A. To access the power switch, remove the
toekick by pulling out to release it from
the brackets.
B. To replace, press the toekick panel onto
the toekick bracket to engage the
gripping pads.
4. Clean refrigerator/freezer, wipe it, and dry
well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of
both doors to prop them open far enough
for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less,
keep the door closed 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.
