Inoperation 
Preparations 
In the event of a power outage 
Even in the summer, foods can be kept 
cool for several hours during a power 
outage.  
●  In the event of a power outage, refrain 
from adding foods to the appliance and 
opening the doors. 
●  If you know there will be a power 
outage, produce more ice cubes and 
place them in the top section of the 
refrigerator. 
Putting the appliance out of operation 
If the appliance is to remain idle for a 
long period of time, you must press the 
power button and unplug the power cord. 
Clean the appliance as described. During 
the period of inoperation the doors must 
be left open to prevent odour build-up. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It is recommended to clean the interior 
before starting up the appliance. (Details 
under “Cleaning”.) 
Standstill 
After cleaning, let the appliance stand still 
for at least six hours before turning it on to 
start it up. 
Caution:  
A temperature drop in the freezer compartment, caused by a power outage 
or other malfunction, reduces the storage life span and quality of the foods.
   
Caution: Wait at least five minutes before turning on the appliance after 
turning it off. 
 
Caution: Avoid putting the appliance out of operation, as this will shorten its 
life expectancy.
