Power Interruptions If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold and frozen. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following: ■■ Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker. ■■ Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to 4 days. ■■ If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can perishable food at once. REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it. Vacation Care Your refrigerator is equipped with the Sabbath Mode feature, which is designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights and ice maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit Sabbath Mode when it is no longer required. If You Choose To Leave the Refrigerator On While You're Away: 1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items. 2. Press SABBATH. 3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off water supply to the ice maker. 4. Empty the ice bin. 5. When you return from vacation, press SABBATH to return to normal operation. 13
