Preparing
for vacation
For extended vacations or absences,
remove food and shut off power to the
refrigerator at the fuse box or circuit
breaker. Clean the interior with a baking
soda solution of 1 tablespoon of soda to
1 quart of water. Wipe dry. To prevent
odors, leave an open box of soda in the
refrigerator. Leave doors open.
For shorter vacations, remove perishable
foods and leave controls at regular settings.
However, if the room temperature is
expected to drop below 60°F., follow the
same instructions as for extended
vacations.
Move the icemaker feeler arm to the STOP
(up) position and be sure to shut off the
water supply to the refrigerator.
Preparing
to move
Secure all loose items such as grille,
shelves and drawers by taping them
securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.
To clean the condenser fins:
First turn off the power at the circuit
breaker or fuse box. Wait about 30 minutes
for the condenser area to cool. Then
remove the decorative panel by lifting up
and toward you.
Use a soft bristle brush to loosen dust and
lint on the condenser fins. Use a vacuum
hose to remove soil.
After cleaning: Reconnect power at the
fuse box or circuit breaker.
Replace the decorative panel.
