Vacation and Moving Tips

Short 

vacations: 

 

Leave 

refrigerator 

operating 

during 

vacations 

of 

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 

few 

days.

Long 

vacations: 

 

Remove all 

food 

and 

ice 

if 

you 

will 

be 

gone 

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 

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.

IMPORTANT

Once 

your 

refrigerator 

Ice 

and 

Water 

dispensing 

system 

has 

been 

filled 

with 

water,

it 

is 

important 

that 

the 

refrigerator 

remain 

in 

an 

environment 

that 

stays 

above 

the

freezing 

mark.

If 

the 

refrigerator 

is 

going 

to 

be 

stored 

in 

an 

environment 

that 

will 

fall 

below 

freezing,

or 

will 

see 

freezing 

temperatures 

during 

move, 

the 

water 

in 

the 

Ice 

and 

Water

system 

must 

be 

drained 

completely. 

Failure 

to 

do 

so 

could 

result 

in 

damage 

to 

the

Ice 

and 

Water 

system. 

This 

damage 

could 

result 

in 

water 

leaks 

when 

the 

refrigerator

is 

put 

back 

in 

service.

It 

would 

be 

advisable 

to 

contact 

service 

representative 

to 

perform 

this 

operation.
