Vacation and moving care
Long vacations
Remove all the food if you are going for a month
or more. If your refrigerator is equipped with an
automatic ice maker, turn off the water supply to
the ice maker at least one day ahead. When the
last load of ice drops, turn off the ice maker.
Make sure all ice is dispensed out of mechanism.
Unplug the refrigerator. Clean it, rinse 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.
To restart refrigerator, see “Using Your Refrigera-
tor” on page 7.
Short vacations
No need to shut off the refrigerator if you will be
away for less than four weeks. Use up perish-
ables; freeze other items. If you have an
automatic ice maker:
1. Turn off your ice maker by raising signal
arm.
2. Shut off the water supply to the ice maker.
3. Empty the ice bin.
Moving
If your refrigerator is equipped with an auto-
matic ice maker, shut off the ice maker water
supply at least a day ahead. Disconnect the
water line. After the last load of ice drops, lift
the signal arm to turn off the ice maker.
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 every-
thing back and refer to page 5. Also, if you
have an automatic ice maker, remember to
reconnect the water supply line.
