If you are going to be away or the appliance is not going to be
used for a long period
If you are not going to be using the appliance for a long period, empty it, unplug it, clean it,
empty and dry the water tank and leave the doors open to prevent mould and unpleasant
odours from forming.
If there is a power cut
•
If the power outage only lasts a short time, the food inside the fridge will not be affected.
You should not, however, open either of the doors. The length of time the fridge freezer
will stay cold is set out in the "PRODUCT DATASHEET" section of this manual. The length
of time varies according to how full the appliance is.
•
When the appliance is switched on again, the refrigerator and freezer compartments
operate with the settings defined before the power failure.
•
If the outage is going to last longer, you should transfer the frozen and deep-frozen food
to another freezer.
•
As soon as you notice food products start to thaw, they should be consumed as soon as
possible.
