Vacation and Moving Tips
Short vacations: Leave refrigerator operating during vacations of 3 weeks or less.
• Use up all perishable items from the refrigerator section.
• Wrap and store other items in the freezer.
• Turn off automatic ice maker, even if you will be gone just a few days.
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 the 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 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.
• The cabinet should be well padded and handled with care. DO NOT DROP.
The 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 refrigerator. Carefully move unit away from wall. Be careful not to move
refrigerator beyond plumbing connections.
2. Turn off the household water line valve that supplies water to refrigerator.
3. Disconnect 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 refrigerator next to the
water supply valve (see "Automatic Ice Maker" in the Avoid Service Checklist
Section).
5. Disconnect water tank inlet lines at the water supply valve. Water will spill out
when the water line is completely removed. Put the water tank inlet line into pan
to catch drainage.
6. After drainage has stopped, reconnect water tank inlet line to the water supply
valve. Some water may remain in water tank. Should the unit freeze, the small
amount of water left should not cause a problem.
