5.2 Defrosting
This refrigerator features a No Frost system, which automatically prevents ice buildup in the freezer compartment. Manual defrosting is generally not required. However, if ice accumulation occurs due to improper use (e.g., frequently open door), unplug the unit and allow ice to melt naturally, then clean and dry the interior.
5.3 Power Outage
During a power outage, keep the refrigerator doors closed to maintain internal temperature for as long as possible. The refrigerator can typically keep food cold for several hours without power.
5.4 Vacation Care
For short vacations, leave the refrigerator operating normally. For long vacations, empty the refrigerator, unplug it, clean the interior, and leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent odors and mold growth.
