- Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly before plugging the unit back in and returning food items.
5.3 Power Outage
In case of a power outage, keep the refrigerator door closed to maintain the internal temperature for as long as possible. Most food items will remain cold for several hours if the door is not opened frequently.
