The Manufacturer declines any liability if the above advice and precautions are not respected. RECOMANDATION IN CASE OF NO USE OF THE APPLIANCE 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. If your appliance has an automatic ice maker: 1. Shut off the water supply to the automatic ice maker. Long vacation Remove all the food if you are going away for three weeks or more. If your appliance has an automatic ice maker: 1. Shut off the water supply to the automatic icemaker at least a day before. 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. Wrap them well, and fix them together with adhesive tape so that they do not bang together or get lost. Screw the adjustable feet so that they do not touch the support surface. 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. 12 1.
