Care and Cleaning
(continued)
Long vacations:
* Remove all food and ice if you will be gone 1 month or more.
* Turn controls to OFF and disconnect power.
* Turn off automatic ice maker and turn water supply valve to the closed
position.
* Clean interior thoroughly. Leave both doors open to prevent odor and mold
build-up. Block open if necessary.
Moving: When moving refrigerator, follow these guidelines to prevent damage:
* Remove all food and other items from both the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
* Empty ice storage bin.
* If a hand truck is used in moving, load refrigerator from the side.
* Turn rollers as far up as possible. This will protect them during sliding or moving.
* Cabinet should be well padded and handled with care. DO NOT DROP.
Water tank should be emptied to prevent water from standing for a period of time
or freezing during colder temperatures. To drain tank, follow these steps:
1. Unplug the refrigerator and carefully move the unit away from the wall. Be
careful not to move the refrigerator beyond plumbing connections.
2. Turn off the household water line valve that supplies water to the refrigerator.
3. Disconnect the refrigerator water supply line from the household water source.
Some water remaining in the line may be spilled out.
4. Place a large pan, with at least a 3-quart capacity, behind the refrigerator next
to the water solenoid valve.
5. Disconnect the water tank inlet lines at the water solenoid valve. Water will spill
out when the water line is completely removed. Put the water tank inlet line into
the pan to catch the drainage.
6. After the drainage has stopped, reconnect the water tank inlet line to the water
solenoid valve. Some water may remain in the water tank. Should the unit
freeze, the small amount of water left should not cause a problem.
