Vacation and moving tips
Short vacations:

Long vacations:
If the freezer will not be used for several months:
• Remove all the food, turn the control to neutral position, and unplug the power
cord.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
• To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the freezer lid open slightly, blocking
it open if necessary.
Moving:
• Unplug the power cord.
• Remove the food, defrost the freezer, and clean it thoroughly.
• Secure all loose items, such as the base panel, shelves and the slide-out
basket, to prevent damage.
• In the moving vehicle, secure the freezer in the upright position, making sure
that it can not move. Also protect the exterior of the freezer with a blanket, or
similar item.
