Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, empty it, defrost it (if necessary) and clean it.
Keep the doors slightly ajar to let air circulate inside. By doing this, you avoid the development of
mould and bad odours.
WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS NOT USED
In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your electricity supply company and ask how
long it is going to last.
Note: Bear in mind that a full appliance will stay cold longer than a partially filled one.
If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be frozen again, although flavour and aroma may
be affected.
If food is found to be in a poor condition, it is best to throw it away.
For power failures lasting up to 24 hours.
1. Keep the door of the appliance closed. This will allow the stored food to stay cold as long as
possible.
For power failures lasting more than 24 hours.
1. Empty the freezer compartment and arrange the food in a portable freezer. If this type of freezer
is not available and, likewise, no artificial ice packs are available, try to use up the food, which is
more easily perishable.
2. Empty the ice tray.
