pliable and assure a good seal.
Power Interruptions
• Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the
power cord from AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug
power cord to AC outlet. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled or thawed
food. Clean unit before reusing.
Vacation and Moving Care
• For long vacations or absences, empty food, move the temperature DIAL to the OFF position and
clean the door gaskets according to "General cleaning" section. Prop doors open, so air can
circulate inside. When moving always move vertically. Do not move with the unit lying down.
Possible damage to the sealed system could occur.
