When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for
cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the
refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk”
the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could
occur.
For short vacations or absences (three months or less):
1. Remove all perishables.
2. If no one will be checking in on the refrigerator during your
absence, remove all frozen items also.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
•
Shut off the water supply to the ice maker at least one
day ahead of time.
•
After the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shut off
arm to the OFF position.
•
Empty the ice bin.
4. If the room temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C), follow
the instructions for longer absences.
