Holiday and moving care
Long holidays
Remove all the food if you are going for a
month or more.
Unplug the refrigerator. Clean, rinse it well
and
dry. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the
tops of both doors to prop them open far
enough for air to get in.
This will keep odor
and mold from building up.
Personal Injury Hazard
Do not allow children to climb on, play
near or climb inside the refrigerator
when the doors are blocked open.
They may become injured or trapped.
Short holidays
No need to shut off the refrigerator if you
will be away for less than four weeks. Use
up perishables; freeze other items.
Moving
Remove all food. Pack frozen food in dry
ice. Unplug the refrigerator and clean it
thoroughly.
Take out all removable parts. Wrap all
parts well and tape them together so they
don’t shift and rattle. Screw in the leveling
legs; tape the doors shut; and tape the
electric cord to the cabinet.
When you get to your new home, put
everything back and refer to page 5.
To restart refrigerator, see “Using Your
Refrigerator” on page 7.
