Short vacation
There is no need to disconnect the appliance from
the power supply if you will be away for less than
three weeks. Use up perishable food, freeze other
food.
Long vacation
Remove all the food if you are going away for three
weeks or more.
1. Empty the ice bucket.
Fix some wooden or plastic wedges to the upper
part of both doors with adhesive tape and leave the
doors open enough for air to circulate inside both
compartments. This will prevent odour and mould
from setting in.
Moving
1. Take out all internal parts.
2. Wrap them well, and fix them together with
adhesive tape so that they do not bang together
or get lost.
3. Screw the adjustable feet so that they do not
touch the support surface.
4. Close and fix both doors with adhesive tape and,
again using adhesive tape, fix the power cable to
the appliance.
Power failure
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 both doors 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 bucket.
RECOMMENDATION IN CASE OF
NO USE OF THE APPLIANCE
• Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated
room, but not a heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker, etc.). If required, use an insulating plate.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down
before placing in the appliance!
• When thawing frozen products, place them in
the refrigerator. The low temperature of the
frozen products cools the food in the
refrigerator
• Open the appliance doors as briefly as possible.
• The ventilation opening in the base should be
cleaner occasionally with a vacuum cleaner or
paint brush to prevent increased power
consumption.
